Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Miriam Austin is the author of the international best-seller, Yoga for Wimps: Poses for the Flexibly Impaired (Sterling) and Cool Yoga Tricks (Ballantine). The lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek style of Yoga for Wimps appealed to people around the globe for its ability to meet people exactly where they are in terms of strength, flexibility, and lifestyle. Cool Yoga Tricks offered people, who could not perform the classic yoga postures, ways to adapt the poses to fit their specific needs. Both books were highly praised by Yoga Journal and dozens of periodicals around the world. Miriam and Yoga for Wimps were featured in O, The Oprah Magazine. And, Miriam appeared on approximately two dozen television and radio shows. As a yoga student and teacher for 25 years, Miriam has the unique ability to understand the needs of all levels of yoga students.

Achieving balance in our modern world is not so easy. Pressed for time, people have turned to yoga to fulfill their needs for physical fitness, relaxation, a deep spiritual life, and an active social life. Yoga has become both the coolest exercise and the coolest form of community. The yoga studio is where we exercise, release our stress, meet new people, and see old friends. We feel more relaxed, more energetic, and our worries (and pains in the neck) exit as we leave the yoga studio. We feel great in our bodies, so we feel great in our spirits. We then naturally want to connect with people in our community in a more meaningful way after class. We want to have fun, and what better way than having a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, or a cup of coffee together?
            Bar Stool Yoga takes this fun a little bit farther. Our union is with other people. Our spiritual experience includes the distilled spirits in a convivial atmosphere. The bar stool becomes a favorite prop. Our favorite poses are renamed after some of the world’s most famous drinks—or obscure drinks, in some cases.
            Yogis and yoginis are often seen stretching in public places. Some airports now have yoga rooms. Corporations, parks, schools, churches, communities of all types offer yoga classes. Why? Because yoga makes us feel so good. We feel exhilarated and we want to shout it from the rooftops. We want to convert everyone we know. So let’s take yoga to the places it hasn’t been yet: bars and restaurants. Do poses with your yoga friends. Show your non-yoga friends the cool tricks you have learned in yoga class. In essence, Bar Stool Yoga is about the sheer joy of yoga and sharing that joy with our friends—wherever we are.
