Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Carrico, the choreographer of Jane Fonda's yoga video, and the staff of the well-respected Yoga Journal have produced both a good introduction to the history of yoga and helpful instruction in a range of basic poses. The book describes nine primary varieties of Hatha Yoga for the general reader and suggests ways of finding a good teacher. The beginner's postures are described in thorough fashion, with photos of correct and incorrect techniques. The book also includes recommended sets of postures, depending on the time of day, and advice on meditation. A class or video may still provide the best introduction to yoga, but this book is both an excellent complement to other instruction and a good reference source in itself.?Norman Oder, "Library Journal"

Product Description
Welcome to the world of yoga.
Yoga Journal's Yoga Basics offers the first truly comprehensive introduction to the practice of this popular ancient healing art. Produced by a teacher of yoga for over 25 years and the editors of Yoga Journal, it offers all the inspiration and instruction you'll need to develop your own at-home yoga practice. Beginning with an exploration of the roots of yoga, the book goes on to describe a variety of hatha yoga styles-- Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and others-- so you can choose the method that's appropriate for you. Featuring easy-to-follow instructions and 140 black-and-white photographs to illustrate the postures, Yoga Basics provides a thorough understanding not only of the mechanics of technique but of all the important elements that make yoga so much more than a fitness regime. In this unique book you'll find:
* Tips on the use of the breath in yoga practice and breath awareness exercises
* Guidelines for regular practice, including health and safety considerations
* Dozens of illustrated postures-- standing, seated, supine, and prone-- with their benefits described
* Sample Yoga routines that can be done in as little as 15 minutes per day
* Instruction on the practice and power of meditation
