Summary

Feel great, garden more Gardening is a beautiful, contemplative communing with nature-but it still demands a lot of your body. Digging, weeding, pulling, pruning: If the ache in your lower back makes you think twice about putting bulbs into the ground, then Gardener's Yoga is the thing for you. Twenty-one gentle yoga positions will relax and stretch the muscles that gardeners use the most. With clear directions and bright illustrations, you will bend and stretch, dig and grow! Book jacket.
