5.0 out of 5 stars Somatic Yoga Changed my Life, November 26, 2008

LotusFace - See all my reviews

This review is from: How Yoga Works: Introduction to Somatic Yoga (Paperback)

I was a student of Eleanor Criswell in college and I have to admit I only took the class to fulfill an elective credit. I have to say that I still talk about Somatic Yoga as well as use it in my daily life. I feel more relaxed and in tune with my body and I highly suggest this read.

This review is from: How Yoga Works: Introduction to Somatic Yoga (Paperback)

I read this book after my yoga instructor stated he was going to change things up a bit with somatics. This book gave me a good insight on what I have to look forward to.

1.0 out of 5 stars How yoga works: an introduction to somatic yoga, March 11, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: How Yoga Works: Introduction to Somatic Yoga (Paperback)

I have bought this book to read about scientific studies of how yoga affects the human body. I have therefore limited my reading to Part Four: the psychophysiology of somatic yoga.

I was appalled: this part, supposedly the heart of the book, contains only two things: a regurgitation of standard knowledge about the brain and nervous system, clearly copied straight from an introductory medical textbook, with each paragraph adorned by an unhelpful appendix to the effect that yoga practice involves and may affect this particular area of the body. No information or data provided to support this factoid.

What garbage. When I have another couple of hours to waste, I will peruse the rest of the book.

Vittorio Toselli

P.S. ThoughI am not thirteen, this was the only kit that I could find.
