5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully illustrated, excellent guide to sequencing for home practice, May 29, 2009

This review is from: The Yoga Practice Guide, Dynamic Sequencing for Home Practice and Teachers (Spiral-bound)

This is a truly beautiful book, from the illustrations to the beautiful excerpts and inspirational quotes to the heavier stock and convenient spiral binding. It's a perfect home practice companion with several useful sequences from beginning to advanced. The themed sequences do an amazing job of clearly illustrating how you can build up to a back bending or hip opening apex pose. It does exactly as it says on the tin, provides dynamic sequencing for home practice. What you will not receive is insight into alignment, how to get into poses, etc. So while a beautiful book, if you're an absolute beginner, I'd recommend going to a few classes with a qualified instructor to ensure you are moving safely in and out of your yoga poses.

Wow! This is the book for which Yoga practicioners on all levels have been waiting.. not only are the positions laid out VERY clearly visually but there is excellent sequencing..the exercises are easy to follow and the size and format of the book make them totally accessible. I'm impressed. The book, though simple in design, tells exactly what you need to know. It's 'in your face' yoga..good work Mr. Bowditch!

This is the book the yoga community has been waiting for! This is the book that will help you build your practice at home. There are hundreds of yoga books full of poses but none that teach sequencing ... UNTIL NOW! I recommend this book to all students and teachers of yoga. Although Bruce is an Anusara certified Yogi he has created a gift for yogis of all styles. You will never put this book on the shelf!
