When I saw "Yoga for Women" for sale, I had to buy it immediately! This is the second book I've bought by Shakta Kaur Khalsa (the first was Kundalini Yoga -- also fantastic!).

I knew it would be high quality not only because it is published by DK (well-known for its beautiful photography, layout, and design) but because it is written by such a gifted writer!

Shakta has such a beautiful, lyrical, poetic way of expressing her deep well of knowledge about yoga.

This book is so rich in wonderful healing, energizing, and nurturing activities. It is incredibly beautiful and inspiring. I literally felt better just reading it, even before I did any of the very accessible and effective "kriyas" (exercises).

There's also a great section on yoga for relationships!

This book would make a perfect gift for anyone who is interested in learning about yoga in a clear, uplifting, meaningful way.

Thank you, Shakta, for blessing us with the beauty of your soul!

i bought this book a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with it. Not only the poses and discussion about yoga itself, but the many meditations (something i am horrible at, and really need in my life) and the recipes-they all sound fabulous, i don't know which to try first.

i enjoy the personal stories included in the book-they remind me that even imperfect people like me can do better with yoga and caring for oneself. There is only one pose that i can't seem to get from the description, but overall, she is fabulous at explaining each pose or meditation.

Aside from the information, the book is well written, with a personal, caring voice and is just beautiful. Personally, i recommend it.

I love this women's yoga book. I truly enjoyed the combination of hatha yoga and kundalini yoga, the recipes and the meditations. I especially like the conversational and "personal touch" which makes this book both informative and "intimate". It's like practicing with a group of friends who are sharing instead of just lecturing.

I've wanted to have this book since I saw it in Amazon.com. Then when I went to a bookstore in Sydney, I saw it, open it, and fell in love with it. Then I bought it, and in the middle of winter night read and practiced some of the movements. I felt this familiar tranquility and stillness and I realised... I've found my book of yoga...

So important this book for me that I decided to order one for my friends in my ashram in Indonesia. So that many more women will be blessed knowing their own bodies and minds, and eventually overcome them to be with the Oneness.

I recently purchased a copy of Yoga For Women after searching bookstores and the internet for a publication that would be useful for a beginners, intermediate or advanced yoga practitioners. Yoga for Women is a jewel among all pulbications that gear themselves towards the needs of women of all ages. The book is simply wonderful and full of useful information. Shakta Kaur Khalsa, "Thanks for being true to future readers and yoga practitioners throughout the world. Your're an authentic voice that reasonates with wisdom, experience and grace !

I lead a rather hectic life and have spent the last 6 years in SE Asia and Asia teaching English.I really needed something to calm the mind.
This is my first yoga book and I`m so impressed, I`m itching
to do a Kundalini instructors course.
Thank you so much."My time" actually has a meaning now.I bet my students are just as happy I found this wonderful book.I know my husband is.

I especially like the emphasis on accepting your body, what it can and cannot do, and also the section on breast care. The photos in this book are outstanding and the poses are carefully explained. I also appreciate the models...they look like my yoga class!! Different!!

This book is like having a wise friend and yoga teacher nearby at all times. There are yoga sets to complement all phases of a woman's life and to nurture her along the way. A great feature of the book is that there are options within the sets, so no matter what my available time frame is, I always find a nourishing practice. To optimize the benefits, I highly recommend accompanying the text with the CD, "Women's Yoga Music," compiled by Shakta Kaur Khalsa. Shakta references this companion CD in many of the beautiful meditations and practices in the book. I find this brings such depth to the "at home" yoga experience. From the bottom of my heart, I recommend this book to all women!

This was one of the books I borrowed from the library when I was starting yoga and it was the only one I decided to purchase a month later.

Here is what I like about it

- I think it is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing book (but this is not the reason why you should buy it:))
- The instructions are easy to follow, well-explained and supplemented with step-by-step diagrams
- Along with yoga instructions it contains useful information on how the yoga pose benefits the body
- There are delicious and healthy recipes scattered through the book
- Women who have benefited from yoga share their stories. Each of these women have a unique life situation that attracted them to yoga
- The book is divided into convenient sections (ie. yoga for every women, yoga for beauty, for energy, for pregnancy etc.). You don't have to go through the whole book, it's easy to pick a section and follow it.


There is something for every woman, at every age.

I have tried many Yoga DVd's and books over the years and can say without any doubt that this is the best.

It has such a variety of practices targeted to all the issues women face .

Highly recommend it both for the beautiful,clear pictures of the poses as well as the tidbits of advice throughout-only wish Shakta Kaur Khalsa would make a DVD too!
