5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly lovely book, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Shakti: The Feminine Power of Yoga (Hardcover)

I had been debating purchasing Shakti ever since it came out in 2003. It is a small, hardcover book of beautiful yoginis in the nude. Shakti captures the power, strength, and grace that women hold. The photographs manage to capture a feeling of motion and fluidity that I feel is lacking in other books that are devoted to photographs of yoga asanas. Shakti's photographs are all black and white with a grainy texture which lends itself well to the artist's vision. About half the pictures are more traditional yoga asanas. Regarding the other half of photos, I feel the photographer was trying to capture the essence of the feminine. A wonderful book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Yoga, March 10, 2007

This review is from: Shakti: The Feminine Power of Yoga (Hardcover)

I study yoga and bought this book at my studio. I love the pictures-- they inspire me as a yogi and they teach me form just by looking at them. I like the book better than many of my artist model books as many of them fuzz out the private regions! this book is about yoga, pure and simple, in the buff and captures graceful women and thier art.

My only problem was that the woman are all athletic and strong and make yoga look like it is only for the well built when yoga is for everyBODY.

This review is from: Shakti Calendar 2009: The Feminine Power of Yoga (11-3/4" X 11-3/4") (Calendar)

This calendar gives me inspiration every time I look at it. I put it up at work to remind me to practice yoga in my everyday life. Wish there was a daily version of this calendar.
