Squatting has always been part of my yoga practice and teaching. Only recently whilst on a Bowen course with Julian Baker did I fully realise how helpful squatting is to the digestion system and to the mobility of the ankles, hips and knees. Take a look at these images and notice the lovely long shape of the back and how the sacral area is open and flat. Once you have warmed up your lower body area you might like to have a go at a squat. If you feel pain, please come out of the pose.

Books I love
Eckhart Tolle: A New Earth: Create a Better Life
For those of you who are wondering why life seems to be becoming a bit more of a rollercoaster....- Eckhart Tolle: Practising the Power of Now
A truly wonderful insight into how to access the amazing 'Power of Now'. Easy to understand, just need to implement it! - Dr. Bruce Lipton: The Biology of Beliefs
A wonderful explanation of the synergy of mind and body. Dr Lipton, a cell biologist helps us cross the divide between science and spirituality. Essential reading for anyone working with energy to coach and heal. Erich Schiffmann: Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving Into Stillness
Probably my all time favourite yoga tome. I love the way Mr. Schiffmann writes this, so much detail about what and where to feel within the posture (though some are definitely unachievable for me!). Also lots of detail for yoga relaxations. It was a bible for me in the early days of my yoga teaching.Leslie Kaminoff: Yoga Anatomy
For those of you who want to understand a little more of which muscles are involved with which postures, this is a reasonably priced and wonderfully illustrated book to help you along.Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
A beautiful book that teaches how to spend more time in the NOW and less time elsewhere! Every yogi I know, believes that the NOW is where we find peace. The challenge is in the 'how'. Mr. Tolle leads us there with ease...Dawson Church: The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention
This would be my desert island book choice. It blows my mind when it talks about the power of energy medicine with incredible new research studies backing up its experience. It encompasses so much that I practise, yoga, EFT, NLP and myofacisa (connective tissue). I love it!Julian Baker: The Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique orginated in Australia and has thankfully found its way to the UK and beyond. An holistic therapy that gently moves the myofascia to stimulate the body's own energy healing.Devi S. Nambudripad: Say Good-Bye to Illness (Say Good-Bye To...)
This book is the bible of allergy elimination. There are numerous testimonials from all over the world from allergy sufferers who have found relief using Dr. Devi's NAET allergy elimnation system. If you've got allergies, you need NAET!David Feinstein: The Healing Power of EFT and Energy Psychology: Revolutionary Methods for Dramatic Personal Change
This extraordinary book explains how EFT works and teaches you the basics and much more. Each time I pick it up I learn something new and amazing. A must for those who have negative emotions/beliefs and are ready to let them go.
