Providing a solid introduction to this ancient art of relaxation, yoga instructor Lalvani divides her book into five sections including a brief (and rather simplistic) discussion of yoga's therapeutic value in alleviating stress. The core of her text revolves around four types of postures: Energy Boosters, Art of Relaxation, Meditation and Visualization, and Remedial Yoga. The first two, Energy Boosters and Art of Relaxation, are exercise programs consisting of a series of postures that build on each other. The last two sections focus on breathing techniques and postures aimed at relieving specific types of tension. Lalvani's explanations of the poses as well as their specific purposes are clear and concise. This coupled with the lack of New Age-speak that permeates other yoga texts makes her book refreshing. Collages of photographs depicting the natural progression of movement within poses make Lalvani's text easy to follow. A good addition to any public library wanting to develop or update its yoga collection.ADebra Mitts, Glenview P.L., IL
