A Splash from the book...
“
"Kelp plants attach themselves firmly to the ocean floor. That connection to the earth is vital to their survival. They are not free-floating algae, and need to be tethered to the Earth element. Like you, they use the buoyancy of the water to support their leaves. The water lets the leaves fan out and receive the sun's rays.
Firmly ground into your feet, like the holdfast qualities of Pacific kelp. Reach out with your arms on the surface of the water. Feel the water support your arms. Press into your firm hold on the bottom of the pool. Feel that solidity up your legs into the base of your spine at the Root Chakra. Reach up through the crown of your head towards the sun. Feel the buoyancy provided by the water. Feel the firm, safe connection your feet give you. Be grounded, but tall and flexible like kelp."
- From Chapter 11, Integrating Water Science and Yoga Systems in Water Yoga
Who the book is for
If you want to try water yoga, this is the book for you
Why a pro would want the book...
Water Yoga takes the blended discipline of water yoga and breaks it down for movement professionals who want to add water yoga into their personal and professional life.
It grounds water yoga in the traditions of yoga at the same time it makes the practice relevant to everyday life in the modern world. Water yoga is filled with the best practices within the fields of aquatics, science, and yoga.
It's a great get started guide before you invest the time and energy in a full training.
Why a water lover would want the book...
If you're curious about water yoga whether as a participant in other aquatics classes or someone who needs land yoga alternatives, why should you buy a book with teacher in the subtitle?
Because you know you're getting a complete resource with all the information you're going to need to develop your own practice. It's like buying a cookbook that's called 'Learn to cook like Julia Child' instead of 'How to Buy Take Out'.
The book will get you started and continue to be of value to you as your practice changes and grows.

What colleagues say about the book
“
I am so excited for this book. Christa has combined the wisdom of yoga's traditions and practices with practical tips from her professional expertise and personal experience, plus a little sprinkle of her own magical whimsy. The book is fun, accessible, useful, and meaningful.
As Christa knows firsthand, many people with arthritis and chronic pain struggle with land-based activities and find relief in the buoyancy of the water. Water Yoga has lots of teaching tips, but is also great for people who want to practice on their own.

According to legend, yoga began under water. The story goes that Matsyendra, the first yogi, overheard Shiva sharing the secrets of yoga with Parvati at the bottom of the ocean.
Christa Fairbrother continues this ancient, mystical tradition in Water Yoga, where she translates the fullness of the eight limbs of yoga into a fluid and flexible practice for all of us.
