Gorgeous book for yoga practitioners at all levels, newcomer to advanced

December 17, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a beautiful book, with gorgeous instructional photos and helpful drawings. This routine of poses will not intimidate beginners and will inspire advanced yoga practitioners. Each of these exercises show total newcomers how to start specific poses, mid-level practitioners how to progress through them and advanced users how to reach each asana's pinnacle. I learned yoga from this softcover book and my latest order of it is my third copy. They're well made but I've referred to each so often that the spine starts cracking and the pages I most refer to become dog-eared. I would like to see this book published with a spiral spine so the user can lay it open to the pages they're following. It should also stand up better in that format. I'd also like to see it made in a larger format. There is so much to take in and learn from that bigger pages will provide better spacing. And bigger photographs will only enhance their beauty. The book encompasses more than exercise routines. It also talks about the philosophy behind yoga, provides related information about the human body, offers breathing exercises and holds short sections on asanas for people passing through life's cycles -- ranging from children to pregnant women to less-abled seniors. However, people with special requirements should look elsewhere for a full yoga-exercise routine.

Arrived as expected, a real blast from the past, otherwise fantastic.

March 23, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I ordered this book for a class I had to take, but also for myself. The illustrations do a great job of showing how to maneuver in certain poses, where pictures alone would be confusing. The photos included take up 3/4 spreads and are stylistically appeasing. The book is certainly outdated, however, if you can ignore the 80s headbands, leotards with tights, and legwarmers, it is a great read. Actually, that style is back in now anyway. The information is phenomenal if your roughly a beginner like myself, and even goes into dietary options which was very helpful. Honestly, some of the information in here goes above and beyond what a google search could do, and really helps you learn what health benefits come with specific poses. It gives you the tools to help build and plan your own yoga routine, rather than a playlist on youtube that doesn't explain why you do what you do. The only reason I am giving this book less than 5 stars is because it is a bit outdated, and that alone may not appeal to some. Seller and shipping, however, was perfect as expected.

This book is an excellent source for all Yogis

February 11, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I started practicing Yoga 20 years ago and this was the book my teacher suggested. I lost my first copy due to a flood but was so relieved to see the contents of this book remain untouched with only the cover changed. This book is an excellent source for all Yogis.

An amazing book. If my house were on fire

An amazing book . If my house were on fire , I'd try and grab this book before leaving..... I'd forget other items and run with this book.
This is in my top two yoga books . I learned quite a bit from it and I'm. It a novice , but the book is appropriate as well for a novice. Every stage of your yogic journey can find this book very useful.

I like this book a lot, pictures are helpful, but very advanced models. I didn't know people were that flexible. I'm using it for the great schedule they've created from beginner to advanced.

Can't practice yoga without this book

March 15, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the 2nd copy - someone borrowed the first, and I missed having it. Starting over, no class, just this book. Looking at the photographs and reading the pose directions inspires my practice. Just something about it that works for me.

One of the best yoga books out there

September 10, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have a lot of good things to say about this book. I am a yoga teacher and this is one of the best books out there. This is excellent resource for your personal practice whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, for yoga teachers (with modifications as appropriate) to teach adults and kids. I bought several copies of this book for kids yoga class workshops. It has very clear and crisp instructions aided by excellent pictures. This book encompasses all the elements of asanas, relaxation, breathing, meditation, diet, kriyas, anatomy etc at the right depth for almost anyone interested in yoga.
