'If Clich is a democratically elected form of truth, then Rob Walker is sitting as an Independent and disrupting proceedings from the cross-benches. He's been warned by the Speaker.' - Mike Ladd (poet, founding presenter/producer of ABC RN's Poetica)
'Rob Walker's Original Clich s is a wry, sardonic, meta-poetic and often very funny exploration of politics, ageing, current affairs, fear, travel, human weaknesses, technology and much more. This is powerful poetry that cuts with razor sharpness through modern pretensions and the clich s we surround ourselves.' - Magdalena Ball (poet, author, critic, editor of compulsivereader.com)
'Walker's Original Clich s is a sample bag of poems which twist and turn, probing themselves, and the world, from odd and ingenious angles. He relishes word play and the play of ideas it spawns, one wry eye trained inward while the other peers archly out onto an almost speculative world where what looks like chance could well be synchronicity. '- Michele Seminara (poet, critic and managing editor of Verity La creative arts journal)
'Rob Walker journeys through the world of the clich - those that we speak, and those that we live - and shows us how the personal is political and the political personal. He travels around the world in search of cultural clich s and presents us with clich s of family, love, mental illness and even that old poetic stand-by, the moon. These eminently readable poems delight you, amuse and inspire us to re-examine those things which we take for granted. You will never look at a mouse plague the same way ' - Tracey Korsten (poet, actor, speaker, director, blogger at middleagedlove.com)
The New Yoga: From Cults and Dogma to Science and Sanity
Where did most of your yoga moves come from? A guru from the annals of Indian folklore? Or are those thousand-year-old poses really a twentieth century invention hidden behind a veil of tall stories? Were they based on movement science-or cooked-up creations with a big pinch of folklore? The New Yoga takes a brutally hard look at these critical questions. It proposes six radical steps to strip away the nonsense and provide common-sense yoga for the future, based on movement science:
- Stretching is not the primary goal. Really? Yes. More important are ten other benefits including two new buzzwords, proprioception and interoception.
- Mobility tops flexibility. Focus on better control over a safe range of movement.
- Practice and all is coming. Not so Despite the famous guru's oft quotes words, we may never achieve certain poses. Trying will lead to injury.
- Avoid repetitive stress and encourage brain health with frequent and varying moves on and off the mat.
- 'Pretzels' pushing extreme flexibility lead to injury and misplaced envy. Hyper-mobility is not something to envy; it's sad.
- Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Maintain what works but question all for good evidence.
Rob Walker quotes a wide range of experts and speaks from his own 20-year yoga teacher-training experience. He dumps accepted dogma behind much current teaching and brings a fresh sparkle of evidence and science to twenty-first century yoga.
