I have many yoga books and I find this one the easiest to practice from. The spiral binding and being able to move the left and right pages separately make it so easy to use. On the left page is a practice seuqence and on the right page is one of 44 different poses. There are 31 practice sequences that range from 10 to 90 minutes. On the back of each asana page are several modifications with various props. The author is an Iyengar teacher and the instructions are very detailed. I highly recommend this as a way to get started on a home practice or to get some new ideas for those who already have a home practice.

I love this book...very user-friendly. There are so many practices (including the suggesting time for each practice) that you could choose from and several modifications. The explanation and illustrations are clear and precise. If you are looking for a yoga book...consider this one.

Namaste! I've examined and used a large number of yoga manuals, and I feel sure that you will love this book! Its unique and handily-designed format goes far toward making it the only yoga guide you'll ever need. Ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners. What you get for the very low price of $12.95 (Canada C$19.95) is incredible! All your questions about yoga are answered by the authors, who really know their stuff. Outstanding photos (from different angles, many in multiple "sequence style" to help you perfect the fluidity of moving poses) with explanatory instructions and pointers make it so easy for you to customize your home yoga practice to your own requirements ... and stick with it!

Spiral-bound split-page format allows easy use and reference for a specially selected core group of "44 poses" (Iyengar tradition, the basis for many yoga styles today) and "31 practice sequences" (varying in length from 10-90 minutes, and ranging from vigorous to restorative). Absolutely excellent, very clear and well-thought-out - yet detailed - explanations and background notes fill you in on every aspect of your yoga practice.

The volume also contains an All About Yoga section, a great Glossary and assorted Practice Selection Charts to help you craft and vary your yoga routine, while ensuring that you get the benefits you desire.

The wealth of information contained here is worth the cover price many times over. Just examine this book at your bookstore - turn to any page and read just a bit - and I think you'll wind up eagerly buying it, amazed at the value. Recommend it to your yoga-loving friends, and give it as an economical gift to your non-yoga-practicing friends to get them started on a beautiful life and health journey! They'll love you for it!

This book was recommended by our local yoga instructor. The spiral binding makes the book lie flat. I really like the split pages with the practices on one side (very wide range from beginner to advanced) and the poses on the other. Arrangement is very simple and straightforward. The teacher kept this book out as a constant reference--which was a good enough recommendation for me--and she is a certified Iyengar instructor with years of practice.

Yoga Your Way is (by far) the most user friendly and thoughtfully designed yoga manual
to appear on the market. The authors have paid careful attention to detail, insuring that
the information presented is comprehensive, helpful, & presented in such a way that
anyone can create a daily practice to fit his/her unique needs. This is an extraordinary publication, a must for yoga practitioners at every level.

Worth the money while I await the printing of the revised book.
Love the split pages ... so helpful in creating a strong sequence.
I'm a new yoga instructor and this helps me to round out my class.
Bought the book used and it was in PERFECT condition.

I love this book and find it helpful to inspire and create a home yoga practice. It is also thorough in providing insights into proper structure for a pose and useful variation.

This is a great book! Many yoga books that I've purchased describe only a few sequences. Others describe only very long (time-consuming) sequences. This book details over 30 sequences ranging in time from 10 minutes to 90 minutes in length. It is organized to make it easy to select a sequence according to different criteria - length of sequence, theme (e.g., "opening"), or body area emphasized. Descriptions of the asanas are very detailed, and each comes with a description of the advanced pose and easier variations. And there is quite a bit of other useful information also, including suggestions on forming your own sequences, illustrations showing the location of various muscles and other body areas, etc.

Yoga Your Way: Customizing Your Home Practice is the book many of us have been waiting for! The clever premise of split pages and spiral binding assures its user friendliness. The information is detailed with clear instructions and pictures both for the classic poses and for modifications with props. The sequences are well-rounded and are structured around themes of standing and balancing, extending, opening, twisting, and restoring. The questions and answers and words of encouragement are also helpful. This is also one of the few books that features sequences in lengths from 10 to 90 minutes. This book will be a classic!
