The Power of Body Awareness: The Ultimate Guide to Relax.

This book explains the state of body awareness in which the structures and functions of the body and mind are operating at maximum effectiveness. The author, Mr. Hideo Takaoka, realized that there are seven secrets of body usage that apply to your daily body movements. He introduces those secrets in this book and provides training methods as “YURU EXERCISES.” The YURU EXERCISES were created based on the theory and techniques of Japanese traditional martial arts. Those methods are very easy and require very little effort, so you can incorporate them into your daily life. You will notice many benefits, not only the physical aspect but many kinds of mental benefits as well. YURU EXERCISES are designed to create the ‘relaxed and loosened body and mind’ that you must obtain to develop and strengthen your body awareness.

These exercises provide you with a strong mind, healthy living, and a highly effective body.
