Читать книгу Look 15 Years Younger: The 15-Minute-a-Day Yoga Plan - Barbara Currie - Страница 16

These days everything comes with a manual – 60 pages just on the use of a mobile phone, 100 pages with a recipe book for your food mixer, a large manual for your washing machine and a huge manual for your car. The most complex and brilliant system in your house, however, is your own body – and sadly we are born without a manual!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we did have a manual to instruct us on how to keep the body in perfect condition? We would then know how to care for all of the body’s complex systems and keep them in perfect health. We would know how to oil our joints to keep them flexible, how to move our spine in all six directions to prevent it becoming stiff and aching, we would practise weight-bearing movements to strengthen our bones and we would learn beautiful stretches to keep our muscles in perfect shape.
