Everyday Yoga: At-Home Routines to Enhance Fitness, Build Strength, and Restore Your Body


 

America’s leading expert on yoga for active people, Sage Rountree, shares her approach to practicing yoga every day in this colorful, lay-flat guide to yoga poses and routines.

Flexibility, balance, whole-body strength, recovery, range of motion, focus–a regular yoga practice brings many benefits to people who lead active lives. For athletes in particular, the dynamic stretching of athlete-friendly yoga poses and properly designed yoga exercises can counteract the tightness and imbalances that come from daily workouts.

In Everyday Yoga, certified coach and registered yoga teacher Sage Rountree shares the yoga positions and exercises she has developed in her own yoga studio, at Kripalu, and working with active people during her popular yoga clinics around the country. She guides experienced yoga practitioners and yoga beginners on the best ways to design and develop their own at-home yoga routines.

Everyday Yoga provides endless opportunities to explore and practice yoga in your own home:

  • How to design yoga sessions to address the whole body or specific areas
  • How to sequence yoga poses for a satisfying practice
  • How to create yoga routines of varying duration from 5 to 50 minutes
  • How to make yoga poses easier or more challenging

Each Everyday Yoga routine moves the spine in every direction and loosens tight hips in routines that can last from 5 to 50 minutes, leaving readers satisfied and relaxed. By sequencing several routines together, readers can build stronger, more flexible, injury-resistant bodies.

    This is an excellent book. I use the beautiful yoga sequences over and over again in my yoga classes. Sage is also a wonderful teacher—I took her Teaching Yoga to Athletes training at Kripalu, and it, too, was excellent. Sage is very knowledgeable and conveys information in clear, friendly and supportive way. I recommend her other books too!

    I’m an instructor, and this is my go-to book for creative sequencing! I love how it’s organized, and really appreciate the suggestions for modifying or adding “seasoning” to poses to make them spicier and sweeter. Great resource for instructors and folks who want to add variety to their home yoga routine.

    As a yogi who has maintained a regular practice for over five years and who will enroll in a 200 hour YTT this summer, I love this beautiful spiral-bound book. The pictures are perfect companions to the written explanations, which are broken down into bite-size pieces. I use this regularly for my personal practice. I'm also using it to gain a deeper understanding of how each yoga pose affects each part of the body, so that I can prepare for my Yoga Teacher Training. Thank you, Sage!

    This is just one of four of Sage's books I have purchased. They are all full of great information and very user friendly. Sage takes the time to break down poses and offer options for athletes and "less bendy" people so we can experience a fulfilling yoga practice. Everyday Yoga is truly for Everyday People!

    This is gem of a book! It truly is the most simple yet complete yoga book I have. If you are thinking about starting a yoga practice or if you are a teacher in need of some inspiration, you NEED this book. Sage is a master at delivering info in a way that appeals to all levels in a practical yet powerful manner. I randomly picked it up this am and was so reminded why I am so proud to call Sage Rountree most influential teachers! A must read for students and teachers of yoga! I lead Yoga Teacher Trainings and this book is a requirement for my students.

    As several reviewers have noted, this is a book about which yoga asanas to do, not a book about how to do yoga. It assumes that the reader has some prior knowledge of yoga. If you already have that knowledge, you might wonder how this book can benefit you.
    The choices of which asanas to do and the sequence in which you do them often make a difference in the quality of your practice experience. Some combinations of asanas result in an “Ah Ha” experience in which you find yourself gaining what we can call neuromuscular insight. You learn things about your body and the way you are functioning that you just can’t learn any other way. If you have ever had the good fortune to train with a gifted teacher, you may have experienced this.
    After three months of working these sequences into my personal practice a few times a week, I have had several pleasant “Ah Ha” experiences. If you incorporate the information in this book into your practice, you may have some of these experiences too.
    Full Disclosure: I am both a former and possibly a future student of the author.

    As both a teacher and practitioner, this book is proving to be a wonderful resource. In particular, the way Sage Rountree has organized the book allows for easy customization. Her language is clear, non-dogmatic, and provides concise instruction as to the how, when, and why a particular series of poses might be best suited to a practice or class. A great book to add to your yoga library!

    As a yoga instructor I find this book helpful not only for my own home practice but also as a way to bring some fresh ideas into my class. The text is smart, whitty and easy to read - and the supportive visuals for each pose and sequence are able to be quickly referenced without flipping through a ton of pages. The book itself is spiral bound which keeps it simple to have the pages open and visible as you are working through the poses. With so many yoga books out there, this is definitely one worth adding to your library!

    As both a yoga teacher and practitioner, I cannot speak highly enough of "Everyday Yoga"! It has become my go to book for keeping my morning practice inspired, and the classes I teach fresh and interesting. Sage has a gift for making yoga accessible to the novice while offering refreshing new insights for long term yogis. If you only have room for one yoga book in your library this is it. However, if you are an athlete, I highly recommend you also two more of Sage's books: "The Athletes Guide To Yoga" and "The Athletes Guide To Recovery". I guarantee they will improve your performance and make your training more enjoyable. Thanks Sage for another fine book.

    I like this book. The routines are varied enough to stay interesting, and there are enough modifications to make them accessible. If you're going to buy this book, know that the asanas are not described in detail; you will need some other reference for that.

    The best part is, I feel good when I'm done.

    I love this book. It's spiral bound, which is perfect for use during your yoga practice. I'm also an instructor and this gives me new ideas for my classes. The author also refers to modifications as "sweeter" and "spicier" instead of beginner and advanced, which I appreciate, since some students feel like they're failing by taking a less difficult modification. It's well written and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a basic understanding of yoga already, since it doesn't break down individual poses - you're expected to already know most of them. This is a great book for sequencing and improving your home practice.

    It is what it says it is, and more. I love it. This is a really great book for normal people who want more yoga in their lives but just can't fit more classes in. The lay-flat binding is WONDERFUL, and the organization and production quality make it VERY easy to use.

    It's my favorite traveling yoga companion, too. Video classes are great, but when you just have a few minutes and need to work on a few specific things, there's nothing better than being able to flip quickly through a book like this and get to it. And if you have longer or want to build daily routines, this book will get you there. Highly recommended.
