Critics Review
“Very impressive and necessary. I’m excited by this unique blend of Western-style strength training combined with the flexibility and meditative side of yoga. Popov’s book is for all of us. It offers functional movement along with serentiy and mindfulness.” * Colleen Craig, author of Pilates on the Ball, Abs on the Ball, and Strength Training on the Ball *
“Melding hatha yoga and weight training into a blended practice, Max Popov shows us how these disciplines are not only completely compatible but also how each brilliantly supports the other’s path of inquiry. By combining both, we go far beyond the individual benefits of stretching or strength and enter directly into the domain of a powerfully embodied spirituality.” * Will Johnson, author of Yoga of the Mahamudra *
“Bringing the yogic principle of mindfulness into all aspects of our lives is one of the ultimate goals of yoga. I recommend this book for anyone wishing to bring more spiritual depth to any physical exercise program.” * Biff Mithoefer, author of The Yin Yoga Kit and coauthor of The Therapeutic Yoga Kit *
“…if you’re looking for a link between the muscles and the spirit, Weight Resistance Yoga might be what you’re looking for.” * Lisa James, Energy Times , December 2011 *
“…the information provided is very valuable and explained thoroughly…this book is a treasure waiting to be discovered.” * Holly Scudero, San Francisco and Sacramento Book Review, January 2012 *
“Popov is a good writer and I like his exercise methods. He did an outstanding job with the weight resistance training sections of the book.” * Patricia Snodgrass, Facing North, July 2012 *
“In Weight-Resistance Yoga, author Max Popov blends weight training and yoga practice in a conscious manner. His attention to paying attention assures not only a well-sculpted form but also a finely honed mind.” * Christopher S. Kilham, author of The Five Tibetans *
“This more meditative form of weight lifting seeks self-liberation through the mindful movements of the joints against resistance.” * Yoga Journal *
Max Popov
