5.0 out of 5 stars It's got it ALL, March 7, 1999

By A Customer

I just purchased this book along with Power Yoga by B. Birch ... As good as Birch's book is, THIS one is better! The pictures are a good size and VERY clear, and the book provides a wonderful set of series at the end to accommodate various levels of competence and also to address those moments when there just isn't quite enough time to get in a complete series. I'm sure you'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Namaste, June 23, 2002

By	Lisa (NYC) - See all my reviews

I am very critical of many yoga books out there, but this one won me over. If you are in search of a book to get you started with your home yoga practice, or want further explanation of what you are doing in class, get this book. You can actually use it beside you while you practice as the workouts are mapped out with tiny pictures and a pose number so you can easily get to the expanded reference page.
I found Godfrey Devereux's writing on this art/science to be in depth without going into the esoteric. I also like how he placed an asana glossary at the end according to their Sanskrit name.

3.0 out of 5 stars good for some more advanced students, but even then..., March 30, 2004

By	"bodka" (EU) - See all my reviews

The first part of the book explains some power yoga basics (quite scientific), the main part gides you through the different poses.

Each pose is displayed on 2 pages - one big photo on the left side and the series of small photos on the right side with a very brief explanation. Photos are black and white.

What I really miss in the book are a different variations for the poses! What to do when you have certain problem - how to make the pose easier...and when you are advanced - how to make it more dificult, or just have some variations in your training - this information is simply missing and therefore only 3 stars!
