2.0 out of 5 stars Average. "Yoga for Dummies" is a far better introduction, August 23, 2002

This review is from: Yoga For Men Workout For Body Mind Spirit (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping that I could get started with yoga on my own. As a beginner's introduction to yoga, it is rather unsuccessful in that it uses terminology without defining it first and has photographic illustrations that do not show the key points of the yoga positions as clearly as the drawings in "Yoga for Dummies."

The author clearly is knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, but I don't think that these attributes serve him particularly well in an introductory text of this type.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga for Men, July 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Yoga For Men Workout For Body Mind Spirit (Paperback)

I think the book, Yoga for Men, is a great value in terms of content, modest cost, and considering it also includes an audio CD. Not bad!!! The focus is on men, but many of the concepts are applicable to women as well. This book is not only beneficial to men but to all the women who love them. Recommended as gifts from women who have husbands, partners, fathers, brothers, sons and male friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to start, May 17, 2002

This review is from: Yoga For Men Workout For Body Mind Spirit (Paperback)

I was never a yoga kind of guy, but after reading this book I actually had the courage to go to a class. I'm still going and loving it. Yoga For Men does a great job of making yoga seem less of scary 60's hippie thing and more just a great way to stay in shape, mentally as well as physically. I know many people have hang ups about yoga, especially men, so this book was sorely needed. It's a great value too, fully illustrated and with a companion CD included.
