4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For All Yoga Beginner's, June 24, 1999
This book has helped me begin a lifetime of Yoga practice. Not to follow the trend (if there is one) but for my health, for I suffer from migraines caused by stress and anxiety. And to think I am only 20 years old, and feel like I am 40. So far my health has changed for the better. I didn't have a clue about Yoga until I read the book, and now I feel like a smarty-pants. Only one complaint about this book...not enough pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars very complete, March 22, 1999
By A Customer
This book contains just about everything you'll ever need to know. the author has done exhaustive research, and it pays off. the descriptions are very clear for the most part, although the illustrations could stand some reworking. a really excellent book for beginners, but with lots of new information for the more advanced, too. a really highly recommended manual!

5.0 out of 5 stars the complete yoga book, April 20, 2000
By scott mclean (Australia) - See all my reviews
As a newby to yoga one can get lost in the large aray of yoga books available. The complete yoga book is just that "complete". From someone who started out with little knowledge of this art i found the book very easy to read, very informative and very easy to employ the techniques. I would highly recomend this book for one to recieve a thorough grounding in the art that is Yoga.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book I turned to again and again...
I don't understand why this book isn't more popular. Perhaps it's the title, not sexy enough? Perhaps it covers too many areas of yoga? I can't figure it out. Read more

It is a very good work. I do not give 5 stars because i would like the descriptions of some of the stances to be explained with more details.
