About this title

Synopsis

In The Healing Power of Movement, Hannah Glancy explores the joy of being physically active and reveals how exercise can boost physical, mental, and spiritual health. Glancy, an experienced yoga teacher, hill runner, and fell walker, emphasizes the ways in which getting our bodies moving can make us feel closer to nature and the world around us, demystifying the often-intimidating world of physical activity.

Glancy’s energizing book is split into three parts:

• Move with Your Body: practical exercises for readers to connect with their body 
• Move with Your Breath: the healing power of deep yogic breathing and alternate nostril breathing (as made famous by Hilary Clinton) 
• Move with Your Mind: resilience, acceptance, and the barriers to getting active 

It also includes:

•  Tips for running, walking, and cold-water swimming
•  Instructions for two full yoga sequences
• A quiz for readers to identify their movement mindsets and guidance for how to modulate their approach for the better

The Healing Power of Movement  is the perfect introduction to understanding exercise for people who want to live a fulfilling, active life that puts healing and nature at its heart.
