3.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction into basic yoga philosophy and practices, August 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Modern Book of Yoga (Paperback)

This book was given to me because I wanted to learn more about yoga and it has really helped me. It's not the most comprehensive book on the subject, but it's good for those of us that have not joined an actual class.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Pictures But Lacking in Information, July 2, 1998

This review is from: The Modern Book of Yoga (Paperback)

This book has stunning black and white photos that will inspire any couch potato to begin a yoga practice. However, that is where the praise ends. The book lacked a thorough explanation of the poses and yoga philosophy. Also, the poses are given new names. This is clever, but why not stick with the names that have been around for 5,000 years? This book was a little too hip for an interested yoga student.
