This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Aromatherapy Massage & Yoga: (Hardcover)

I found this book at a wharehouse club in my area and picked it up on a whim after leafing through a few pages. It turned out to be quite a gem.

The beginning section on aromatherapy is by no means all encompassing, but it's a great starting point for the beginner. The section on massage is the absolute BEST. It covers all sections of the body and illustrates Japanese Shiatsu and reflexology as well as the more traditional european method. The yoga section covers a wide range of postures, and even has a nice little 10 week program for the reader to follow, by the end of which one will have the full repertoire of poses in his/her arsenal.

The entire book consists of color photos, and each picture is accompanied by a caption that won't leave you guessing. This book does not offer an in depth study of any of the therapies within, but it is a worthy additon to the library of someone learning about or deeply involved in alternative therapies.

Just a side note: I found it for less than the price advertised so keep your eyes peeled for a bargain.
