Customer Reviews: Great ResourceOctober 5, 2005 D. Hickey(Port Washington, WI USA) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book. The book gives a lot of background and detail on yoga, from the different methods of study, Kripalu, Iyengar, etc. to different breathing methods, being mindful, importance of instruction along with home study. There is also material on the importance of what your nutrition intake should be, from the yogic standpoint, and the philosophy behind it. There are also pictures of postures and what they should look like, and what benefit they provide. Very interesting book that gives a great basic fund of knowledge on all that is yoga! I highly recommend this book.

This book shows many useful asanas and much helpful information. It explains yoga's benefits and contraindications. However, at risk of seeming narrow-minded, I'd ask for more use of English names of the asanas, particularly in the chapter which describes four sessions. Asanas are not listed by English names, which means I find myself flipping back to the pages listed to remind myself that Adho Mukha Svanasana is simply "Down Dog." Used often enough, I'm sure the names will become familiar, but why not put English names in parenthesis at least? That would make the book much more accessible to beginners. Otherwise, a good book for beginners or experienced yoga practitioners.
