5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Practical!, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Yoga for Busy People: Increase Energy and Reduce Stress in Minutes a Day (Paperback)

I bought this book to be a companion to a Yoga videotape I use. While my videotape takes me through a simple yoga routine, it was not very specific about how to perform poses correctly. Yoga for Busy People says "How" step-by-step (with drawings), "Modifications If You Have Difficulty" step-by-step, and then "Remember" step-by-step. It has helped me understand how to prevent injury ("Don't overbend. This posture is meant to stretch the upper back, not the lower back. Keep your naval flat on the floor.") and also when and how to breathe while doing a pose.

VERY easy to understand! I looked at several books before finding this one. It seemed the others had helpful bits and pieces here and there, but Yoga for Busy People is completely practical and helpful all the way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is bigger than it's title. It's thorough!, February 14, 1999

This review is from: Yoga for Busy People: Increase Energy and Reduce Stress in Minutes a Day (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book because it covers so much in such a tight package. I've taken yoga classes but I always dropped them. This book not only took me through a great series of postures, but it actually motivated me to keep doing them. I really got value from this book. It makes sense to me. The title may make it seem trendy or a little too "quick" but believe me, it's full. And I'd read anything else that Dawn Groves writes. I've met her personally and she practices what she preaches. Great stuff. Thanks.
