“Yoga calms the mind, tunes in to the joy of serenity, which a growing baby needs so much. Yoga sets up the expectant mother for a good birth…”Ekaterina ShlyakhovaAqua yoga. What could be easier? "Aqua" - "water", plus yoga. It turns out "aqua yoga" or "yoga in the water." Aqua yoga in the tradition of Birthlight, which employs the medical anthropologist of the University of Cambridge Francoise Friedman, and there is yoga in the water.However, everything is not so obvious. After all, land and water are two fundamentally different environments, and by transferring the practice of classical yoga to water in its pure form, we only imitate yoga externally, while yoga involves deep inner work. Therefore, in order to practice it in water, one must, on the one hand, have a good understanding of the basic principles of yoga and, on the other hand, the essence of the aquatic environment.Françoise Friedman has been dealing with all these issues for decades. One of the aspects of her activity was this book, which in a simple, understandable language immerses us in the most interesting and deeply practical work with the body and spirit.
