Yin Yoga
Een complete gidsYin yoga is populairder dan ooit. In deze uitgebreide gids biedt Bernie Clark een diepgaande blik op de filosofie en beoefening van deze yogavorm. Het boek bevat geïllustreerde hoofdstukken over hoe yin yoga te beoefenen, inclusief gedetailleerde beschrijvingen en foto's van meer dan 30 asana's. Elke vorm van yoga kan fysieke, emotionele en mentale voordelen bieden, maar yin yoga werkt op de diepere niveaus van de lichaam-hart-geest-eenheid: de yin weefsels van fascia, pezen, ligamenten, gewrichten, evenals de energetische kanalen van de meridianen, zenuwen en het bloedsysteem. Een groot verschil ten opzichte van andere yogavormen is de lang aangehouden en passieve aard van de houding. Dit geeft ruimte om een diepere reis aan te gaan, een reis naar de meditatieve aspecten van yoga, een brug naar mindful leven. Yin yoga – Een complete gids biedt uitgebreide informatie over hoe je de yogahoudingen doet, inclusief hoe je in en uit de houding komt, contra-indicaties, waarschuwingen voor mensen die moeite hebben met bepaalde aspecten van de houding en andere belangrijke informatie. Ook wordt er uitvoerig ingegaan op de fysiologische, energetische en mentaal-emotionele voordelen van de yogahoudingen. Dit is een bijgewerkte versie van het boek dat is uitgegroeid tot dé bron voor yin yogabeoefenaars en -docenten over de hele wereld en in veel lerarenopleidingen tot de verplichte literatuur behoort.

Prana
One Breath, Many WorldsPraise for Prana—One Breath, Many Worlds Prana is a luminous and deeply original work—part memoir, part mythic tapestry, part philosophical inquiry—that breathes life into one of the most enduring mysteries of human existence. With rare intellectual range and heartfelt storytelling, it explores the many meanings of breath, life force, and spirit across cultures and centuries. It is a masterful meditation on what it means to be alive—and aware—in the subtle currents that sustain us. Mark Stephens, author, Breathing: The Art and Science of Pranayama and Yoga Sequencing: Designing Transformative Yoga Classes Bernie Clark takes the reader deep inside the mystical, invisible, subtle, yet powerful realms of prana. Through extensive research, combined with personal experience and scientific studies, he sheds light on this intriguing and commonly misunderstood universal force, managing to do so in an engaging and accessible manner. David Swenson, Author of Ashtanga Yoga: The Practice Manual With Prana, Bernie displays what a thorough thinker, heartfelt practitioner, and deeply engaging writer he is of this essential subject at the nucleus of all yoga: prana. Another essential text for all yoga enthusiasts. Sarah Powers, Co-founder of the Insight Yoga Institute and Author of Insight Yoga and Lit from Within Having read all of Bernie’s books, this is by far my favorite. It’s a wonderful mix of the personal, scientific, and creative that explores not only the earliest origins and history of yoga but its underlying energetic and mystical aspects as well. Many of us as teachers have pondered these deep questions, and Bernie has brought his unique perspective to fleshing them out in ways that illuminate the principles and teachings that make yoga universal. J. Brown, Host of the Yoga Talks podcast Prana is a key concept in yoga theory and practice. But what is prana? Is prana a god? A physical force? Or the power that connects the immaterial soul to the material body? Is it just an ancient name for bio-electricity, or is it an intelligent life-force that modern science is slowly uncovering? Bernie Clark’s new book, Prana, explores these questions by tracing the historical uses of the word prana in ancient and modern cultures. He has created masterfully imagined dialogues between ancient yogis, Greek philosophers, Taoist sages, and modern theosophists. His book is interwoven with Bernie’s own experiences and culminates with a review of modern scientific investigations and theories. It is well researched, clearly written, and full of references. Read Bernie’s book Prana. It might make you reconsider what prana is, and how breathing exercises and physical asanas influence it manifestations. Paul Grilley, Author of Yin Yoga: Principles and Practice and Chakra Theory and Meditation As a science educator, I’ve long struggled to reconcile the esoteric ideas of “prana” and “chakras” with scientific thinking. In Prana, Bernie Clark doesn’t resolve that tension—he honors it. Blending myth, history, and modern insight, he invites us not into certainty but into informed wonder. Whether you’re a skeptic or a seeker, Prana offers a compelling and nuanced map for exploring one of yoga’s most elusive concepts, making it a must-read for any yogi. Matthew Huy, Co-author of The Physiology of Yoga and Co-founder of the Enlightened Yoga Collective

Your Upper Body, Your Yoga
Including Asymmetries & Proportions of the Whole BodyThe concepts Bernie presents will someday be standard in yoga teaching programs: tension, compression, skeletal variation, passive and active ranges of motion, asymmetry and proportion. Bernie’s magnum opus clearly illustrates the practical impact of these ideas for all yoga teachers and students. Paul Grilleyauthor of Yin Yoga:Outline of a Quiet Practice Having been a tremendous fan of Bernie Clark’s two previous books (Your Body, Your Yoga and Your Spine, Your Yoga), I was ready to dive into this third book. I could not put it down. The unifying theme across these works is that each person is an individual. Posture and movement technique migrates stress from one body part or tissue to the next. Stress is essential to stimulate optimal health, but it must be in the right amount. Too little allows a weak system, but too much stress creates cumulative micro-damage and, eventually, pain and injury. The key to health is to manage this tipping point. Bernie shows the differences in people, and how to modify each exercise for each area of the body to stimulate robustness rather than pain. His guidance on self-assessment allows the reader to converge on what is best for them. After all, yoga is not a competition but was intended to provide a path to optimal health. Your Upper Body, Your Yoga completes the trilogy guiding the yoga practitioner to resilience with wisdom. Stuart McGill, PhDProfessor Emeritusand author of Back Mechanic Another great book from Bernie Clark, full of detail and insight not found in other yoga books. The perfect completion to an outstanding trilogy. Stu Girling, authorIllustrated Yoga Anatomy Bernie Clark has done it again! Like its predecessors (Your Body, Your Yoga and Your Spine, Your Yoga) Your Upper Body, Your Yoga is an invaluable resource for yoga teachers of all styles, and an empowering reference for practitioners who are interested in learning more about their bodies and how to make yoga work for them. It’s chock-full of anatomical insights and well rooted in evidence-based research but written in Clark’s usual affable tone. It’s not at all overly academic, and the user-friendly way it’s organized makes it far from overwhelming. As a long-time yoga practitioner who is not a “natural backbender,” who has often recoiled from upper body-focused yoga classes, and who struggles with arm-binding postures, reading this ignited a fresh interest in exploring poses that I’d previously neglected in fresh ways that honor my unique anatomy. If your practice or teaching is feeling frustrating or stale, this (and Clark’s other books) might be just what you need to get excited about yoga again. I know I’m inspired! Kat (Heagberg) Rebarauthor of Yoga Where You Are and editor of Yoga International Understanding how the body optimally works is among the most important areas of knowledge for every yoga teacher and teacher trainer. In support of this, Bernie Clark has already given the yoga teaching community two invaluable gifts in Your Body, Your Yoga and Your Spine, Your Yoga. Now he completes his invaluable trilogy with Your Upper Body, Your Yoga, giving us in granular detail the depth of insight necessary for translating knowledge about the body into effective teaching with diverse students. I most highly recommend it. Mark Stephensauthor of Teaching Yoga and Yoga Sequencing Reading Bernie’s books, and in this instance, the third instalment of his magnificent Your Body, Your Yoga trilogy, is an exercise in vigorous head nodding. By this I mean, I find myself in such excited agreement and approval that my head is constantly bobbing up and down as I read! I have become a bobble-head for Bernie.This attention to one’s own individuality, and the call for teachers to attend to the individuals before them, is the crux of the message, explored with expansive detail and practically applied to yoga practice. And although this is explicitly a book for yogis, its contents cover a great scope of information that is universally applicable to the general use and functioning of the human form, useful to anyone who cares to understand and enhance their movement. Congratulations again, Bernie, on another compendium of shared information and applied wisdom. We are truly in your debt for providing us with this deep resource. Gil Hedley, PhD, DirectorIntegral Anatomy Productions, LLC Bernie has a nimble way of clarifying the functional anatomy of the upper body in a way that reads like a novel. I was fascinated and inspired with the useful tools and was reminded why we continue to work and learn from the body. The inclusive and clear illustrations are enormously helpful to new and seasoned students alike. I often felt compelled to move and test-pilot the clever tests and movement suggestions and could see students enjoying themselves in learning to practice safely and become more aware and adaptable teachers. Beth Spindler C-IAYT, E-RYT 500yoga therapist, teacher, writerauthor of Yoga Therapy for Fear Bernie Clark is an anatomy medicine man expertly weaving together the often undervalued links between bones, muscles, fascia, neurodynamics and meridians into a compassionate look at how each person’s alignment must be made personal when practicing postures. No yoga or functional anatomy library should be without Your Upper Body, Your Yoga. It is another essential text for yoga teachers and practitioners of any and all influences. Sarah Powers author of Insight Yogaand Lit from Within This book is a must-read for any kinaesthetic professional! Bernie has managed to streamline a very complex subject to one that is accessible to anyone, regardless of their knowledge of anatomy. Your Upper Body, Your Yoga is supported by an incredible amount of research and showcases a treasure trove of scientific and statistical data in a way that is easy to understand and digest. This book is a true gift to millions of yoga and movement practitioners seeking to study human anatomy and variations. Jo PheeSenior Yoga Teacher Trainer Bernie Clark’s Your Upper Body, Your Yoga completes an epic masterpiece in the world of yogasana and places him among the modern “greats” of this ancient practice. Clark upended my understanding of yoga when I came across his first volume about five years ago. He showed me that many of the cues that I and others parroted from generations of teachers before us were unnecessary, simply wrong or downright dangerous! He has been a major inspiration in my teaching and helped prompt my own humbler work on a related subject. Rob Walker, Director of the Alberta Yoga Collegeauthor of The New Yoga: From Cult and Dogma to Science and Sanity Be warned: If you learned dogmatic rules of “universal alignment” in a training or class, you will soon encounter the evidence and logic for why those axiomatic “rules” just aren’t so. But fear not, Bernie communicates the Gospel of Human Variation with the patience, intelligence and clarity of your favorite professor. Read and integrate everything this man has written. Your body and your students’ bodies will thank you. Josh Summers, co-author of The Power of Mindfulness and host of the podcast Everyday Sublime Back cover I do not think enough yogis and yoginis appreciate the magnitude of Bernie Clark’s contribution to their art. We are, all of us, in his debt. – Paul Grilley Your Upper Body, Your Yoga, the final book of the Your Body, Your Yoga series, focuses on the shoulders, arms and hands. Your body is unique, and this uniqueness affects your yoga practice. The anatomy and biomechanics of the arms and shoulders are described in varying levels of detail, for the novice through to the experienced teacher. Applying this knowledge to a safe and effective yoga practice holds a few surprises: you may discover that the traditional alignment cues pervasive in yoga classes are not the best directions for you, given the nature of your body. Where your hands should be positioned and how you move your arms may depend on the bony structure of your shoulders and arms. Included is volume 5 of the Your Body, Your Yoga series: Asymmetries and Proportions. This volume examines functional asymmetries that need no fixing, as well as dysfunctional ones that do require addressing. Body proportions are highly variable and will affect the way postures are performed by different students. If you have ever wondered why you cannot do certain poses, the answer may become clear when you discover just how unique you are. For students who don’t want much detail, there are summaries, drawings and simplifying sidebars to unpack the difficult topics. For yoga teachers, there are sidebars that translate biomechanics into simple instructions for your students. For the enthusiast who wants to delve deeper, there are detailed sidebars and endnotes. Regardless of your level of experience or preferred style of practice, there is much within this book that will challenge, inspire and delight you. Praise for Your Upper Body, Your Yoga Bernie Clark knows a great deal about the architecture of the upper body, and I find myself thoroughly schooled by the details captured in Volume 4. He includes details of neurodynamics, fascia, vasculature, movements, muscles, bones and their fascinating variations. He then adeptly offers functional applications to yoga postures and the coordination of movement. As for asymmetries and proportions, the topics of Volume 5, Bernie addresses them with the energy they deserve. In my own study of anatomy, I find it is the asymmetries that are most compelling and interesting, as they trump every mental conjuring otherwise and snap the observer into the present moment and the stark individuality of what is before us. Gil Hedley, PhD, DirectorIntegral Anatomy Productions, LLC Bernie Clark has created a summary of scientific support for the modern practice of yoga asana. It has taken him eight years of work. Bernie’s patience, intellect and endurance set him at the same high table as any researcher I am aware of. He has sifted through hundreds of scientific studies, and now he has completed a trilogy of books that clearly spell out the implications of these studies for yoga practice.

Your Body Your Yoga
Bernie Clark beschrijft anatomie vanuit een heel nieuwe invalshoek: de realiteit. Hij besteedt veel aandacht aan de veelzijdigheid van de menselijke anatomie, voornamelijk aan de manier waarop weefsels en structuren bij verschillende mensen van elkaar kunnen verschillen en de invloed die dat heeft op de (on)mogelijkheden in yogahoudingen. Ook beschrijft hij de wijze waarop yoga kan helpen bij het versterken en helen van het lichaam. Dit boek gaat verder dan elk eerder verschenen yoga-anatomieboek, en is daarmee een leidraad voor iedere yogabeoefenaar. Het kijkt niet alleen naar de unieke anatomische structuren van het lichaam en wat die betekenen voor ieders individuele bewegingsbereik, maar onderzoekt ook de fysiologische bronnen van bewegingsbeperkingen. Het eerste deel behandelt de aard van spieren, fascia, pezen, ligamenten, gewrichtscapsules, botten en extracellulaire matrix, en hoe deze bijdragen aan mobiliteit. De vorm van deze structuren bepaalt ons individuele, ultieme bewegingsbereik, wat betekent dat niet elk lichaam elke yogahouding kan doen. De gebruiker zal ontdekken waar zijn of haar grenzen liggen, en krijgt inzicht in welke houdingen helend en ondersteunend zijn, en welke houdingen juist niet. In het tweede deel van het boek worden deze principes toegepast op het lichaam, waarbij unieke variaties voor de diverse gewrichten aangeboden worden voor de yogadocent en –beoefenaar. 'Your Body, Your Yoga' biedt verrijking en verdieping voor iedere yogadocent en serieuze yogabeoefenaar. Van jongs af aan heeft Bernie Clark (1953) een passie voor wetenschap, gezondheid, sport en spiritualiteit. Hij studeerde aan de Universiteit van Waterloo en werkte lange tijd als leidinggevende in de hightechindustrie. Al meer dan dertig jaar verkent hij de weg van de mediatie, en in 1998 begon hij met lesgeven in yoga en meditatie. Meerdere keren per jaar begeleidt hij yogadocentenopleidingen, waarbij hij een brug wil slaan tussen de yoga-ervaring en de moderne wetenschap. Hij richtte de website www.YinYoga.com op. Bernie woont en geeft les in Vancouver, Canada.
