Vanda Scaravelli a découvert le yoga à un âge avancé, y trouvant un chemin vers ce qu'elle appelait 'allegrezza', le cœur intelligent. Son enseignement, profondément influencé par ses études avec B. K. S. Iyengar et T. K. V. Desikachar, s'est concentré sur la connexion profonde entre le souffle, la gravité et la colonne vertébrale. Scaravelli a développé une approche distinctive du yoga qui met l'accent sur l'intelligence naturelle du corps et le mouvement sans effort. Son œuvre fondamentale, Awakening the Spine, continue d'inspirer les pratiquants et les enseignants du monde entier.
The 83-year-old former teacher of J. Krishnamurti shares her revolutionary new yoga techniques for overall fitness. Based on the natural principles of gravity and breath, Scaravelli believes "if it hurts, it's wrong", and offers a gentle way to achieve and maintain overall health and a naturally supple spine--at any age. 150 black-and-white photographs.
