I have checked out a lot of yoga books in the bookstore before picking this one. This book is good in many different ways; first, it has a well written introduction about yoga, body types and a "menu" page, in case you want to know which posture is good for which health problem. All the postures are classified into 4 categories (postures for exercise purpose, health, stress, and meditation). The "excercise yoga" section is designed to exercise different parts of the body and starts with a detailed warm up stretching section. Every page has big pictures so that you can understand how to do the postures and every posture has description of the physical and mental health benefit.

But if you are a beginner and have a stiff body (like me), there are some postures that you feel you'll never do. Don't be intimidated and choose easier postures to start with (because there are many different postures). The key is to choose and practice according to your level and purpose.
