Rating:
- New-agey and unscientificThis is the type of yoga book that brings yoga into ill repute among scientifically-minded people. It discusses chakras and yogic nutrition (based on balancing two "energies") as if they were facts. Yoga can be great for one's body and one's mind, but this book does not present it at its best.
Rating:
- Fantastic introductory book for those interested in yogaWhere to begin? This is the most comprehensive guide to Yoga for beginners I've ever seen. It delves into background, history, breathwork, meditation, spirituality (not religion--it explains the difference), and, of course, the asanas, or poses. The information is interesting and lively, striking a nice balance between depth and simplicity. It's straightforward and clear, but with a playful tone.
Key to any good yoga book is a wide variety of asanas, or poses, to keep you interested. ... Read More

- Everything you always wanted to know. . .i read this book for my book club, and the meeting of the club included a yoga class. It is VERY thorough. I liked the "ouch" boxes, which remind the reader that the goal is not to hurt oneself, or to push beyond one's limits. There is perhaps more of the philosophy than I might have wanted, but this would be a reader's personal preference. Photos very helpful.
Rating:
- Great for beginnersI recently got the urge to try yoga and figured a good place to start would be this book. I was right! It's written for anyone, it's instructions are easy to read and follow and the illustrations are great. They also sprinkle it with a little humor to lighten things up. They make learning yoga less intimidating and make it more likely for you to actually try it and keep doing it. If you're wondering about yoga and don't know where to start, then this is for you.
Rating:
- Does not meet expectationsI picked up this book with great expectations. The book does not necessarily shatter all that, but must say am not much impressed. Some breathing techniques appeared to be inaccurate while most yoga postures are not for real starters. Also, step-by-step posture with better and more pictures would be really good. In general, I think this deserves average rating.
