Awakening the Spine di Vanda Scaravelli

For more than twenty-five years, Vanda Scaravelli has been transforming bodies and lives with her innovative approach to fitness through the proper alignment of the spine. Based on the natural principles of gravity and breath, her revolutionary yoga techniques for overall fitness listen to the body and mind, working with instead of against them to achieve dramatic results.

Scaravelli reminds readers, 'if you are kind to your body, it will respond in an incredible way.' Awakening the Spine offers a gentle way to achieve and maintain overall health and a naturally supple spine-at any age.

Vanda Scaravelli was born in Florence, Italy. She studed for many years with B.K.S. Iyengar and trains teachers who teach her new form of yoga all over the world.

Awakening The Spine di Vanda Scaravelli

Beautifully illustrated, but not so well written (or is it the translations that's ailing?), it was interesting, but not life changing. Interesting since Scaravelli, just like me, discovered yoga later in her life- in her late forties. Taught by Iyengar and Desikachar, she went on to establish her own yoga school based on her ideas regarding breath, gravity and the spine. She voices her theories in the book. She became quite well known and regarded before dying 50 years later in her nineties.
