Review

Zen Yoga offers an opportunity to get to know the self ... to feel happy, healthy and alive. --Aspire Magazine

Aaron's book contains simple breath and mind-body exercises that are not out of the reach of ordinary people. Zen Yoga has worked for my patients. I plan to use this book for them (and myself) and to recommend it to anyone looking for an honest and practical, yet sophisticated book on yoga. --Reza Yavari, M.D., author of It Must Be My Metabolism


Aaron Hoopes' Zen Yoga has helped me immensely with my dancing. It has given me control and flexibility. The combination of stretching, breathing and balancing relaxes and realigns the body. I would recommend thnis easy, enjoyable program to anyone. --Charlotte Poulsen, World Pro/Am Dancesport Champion

Product Description

Zen Yoga is the culmination of the more than twenty-five years Aaron Hoopes has spent studying and training in the practical and spiritual arts of Japan, China and India. In this book, he combines the mindful serenity of Zen meditation, the graceful movements of Tai Chi, the energized breathing of Qigong, and the peaceful stretching exercises of Shanti Yoga. He then blends breathing, moving, stretching, and relaxation exercises into a unique discipline that opens up to anyone, regardless of age or physical condition, the potential for experiencing a new way of living. But Zen Yoga is more than a simple exercise program. It offers a formula to guide us toward a healthier, happier, fitter, and more peaceful state of being.

In engaging, easily-understood prose, Hoopes begins by defining the concepts and explaining his ideas on Zen, Yoga, the Chakras, Chi energy, and the Tao. The next part of the book focuses on breathing, moving, and relaxing exercises, with a final section on spiritual deepening that shows how the experience of Zen Yoga can be merged with the personal spiritual inclinations of the individual. The book includes detailed photographs showing correct positions and sequence of movements.

The Zen Yoga program promotes a healthy body, mind, and spirit. At a deeper level, a commitment to Zen Yoga can illuminate ways to encourage enlightenment, radiate harmony and live in full awareness of the present moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars do you want to be happier? Zen Yoga will help you get there., November 24, 2007
This review is from: Zen Yoga: A Path To Enlightenment Through Breathing, Movement and Meditation (Paperback)
We all want to tap into the inner stillness that is at the core of ourselves. That magical place that is the foundation to our happiness. Using breathing, moving, streching and relaxation exercises to get us there, Aaron Hoopes has created Zen Yoga. I highly recommend this book-and his DVD as vital tools for this journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars your path to the top of the mountain, October 19, 2007
This review is from: Zen Yoga: A Path To Enlightenment Through Breathing, Movement and Meditation (Paperback)
Aaron begins his book with an ancient Chinese saying that the only path that leads to the top of the mountain is the one you make yourself. That said, we all need all the help and gentle guidance we can get to find and travel our own path, and to savor our experiences along the way. "Zen Yoga" is a wonderful resource for this help and guidance. I especially enjoyed the quotations throughout the book, that there's a whole chapter about breathing, and the seven practical truths on page 181. The third of these says "Do what you're able. It's not about what you can't do." Keep this in mind when you look at the photos for the movements and postures which may be intimidating to a lot of us -- neither the book or the whole Zen Yoga concept are about getting your body to do to what Aaron's or Rita's can do. It's all about finding your own peace with this body and this breath, here, now. I'd recommend this book highly as an insightful, well-informed, encouraging resource to help you on your path.
