 Yoga and Pilates in planes, trains, and automobiles? You can do them anywhere with this on-the-spot guide for getting rid of stress while you're on the go. Does traveling exhaust you? Does it give you motion sickness, headaches, and backaches? Do you sometimes pack unresolved emotions in your carry-on? If your commute has you tied in knots, this guide will help you unwind - at the airport, while waiting for your train, even when you're sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Traveler-tested, the exercises in "The Stress-Free Traveler" were developed by certified yoga instructor Sandy Paton specifically to accommodate passengers traveling in restricted spaces, such as economy-class airline seats, trains, automobiles, and buses.The exercises are fully illustrated, easy to do, and require no prior yoga experience. In simple steps, Sandy shows you how to: shrug your shoulders to unload your anxieties; flex your spine to recharge your batteries; walk your fingers to sharpen your wits; overcome travel rage with alternate-nostril breathing; scratch your back to eliminate pent-up energy; unwind in your room with a delicious salt bath and almond oil foot massage; and most of all, sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip!
