This book is AWESOME!!! Not only is the information in it diverse and inspiring, 1,001 Pearls of Yoga Wisdom is great to read in any situation. It can be read the whole way through, section by section, or opened to a random page for one 'pearl' paragraph at a time. It contains yoga poses, quotes, insights, visualizations, advice, mantras, mudras, and much more. I am a yoga teacher, and I've used it in my classes. The students seem to really enjoy it as well. If you like yoga, or even if you don't know much about it yet, this book is an excellent buy.

A great book with lots of quick information and interesting tidbits. Has given me great ideas to share with classes and I now start my practice each day with the warm-up suggested from the book. The reason for the 3 star rating is the books format. A little larger book with less pages would have been better. I have a feeling this book will eventually start to pull away from its binding. I open it and hold it ever so carefully. The other small complaint is the layout. The author broke the information down by morning, noon and night, That makes it hard to use it as a reference style book and find things you want. Putting the info together in categories ( ex. all mudras, all breathing exercises, all sayings, etc. ) and coding them with a symbol to suggest when in the day they are useful, would have made this book a gem........a pearl even. The illustration art is very pretty.

Very good book. Gives lots of basic info on many topics in yoga. Good, quick reminder of topics for yoga instructors.

It's the kind of book to keep in your office drawer for those unnerving times that inevitably arise in day-to-day life situation. It reminds you of the principles and practices of Yoga, and neatly divides its not-so-neat philosophy into multiple categories easy for the reader to identify with. While it breaks no new ground in discussing Yoga, and can be New-Agey in its mostly tip-of-the-iceberg approach to the topic, the "pearls" are real gems and help to balance the mind, body and soul. A lovely book to remind yourself of the higher ground that surrounds you always!

This is my little "go to" book for use in my yoga classes when setting an intention or closing with food for thought.

lots of little gems! Very easy to read or just open and select a reading.
Book was in good condition.

I love the information presented in this book. Only problem is its size. The book would have been so much more useful if it had been 6x9 instead of a mere 4.5x5. The book is hard to read without breaking the binder, so after some wear the pages will most likely pull out of the cover.

All in all though it is a treasure.

This was a random find and I love just opening this little book to a page and read the quotes or wisdom therein. I liked it so much, I bought a hardcover copy as a gift to someone or just as a coffee book. Its a little book and so portable.

I really liked this small but "big" book, basic begginers' info but refreshing. The good thing about yoga and this book is that each time you read/practice it you see something else you didn't "read/saw" before.
Really fits in your gym bag.

As the product suggests, this book is full of wisdom from around the globe and centuries.I love, LOVE this book because it has yoga teachings and many other useful guidance for life. I strongly recommend this book.
