Product Description

Synopsis

In 1974, Dharma Mittra created the Ultimate Yoga Chart as an offering to his guru. Setting up his camera in his New York City studio, he photographed himself in 708 yoga postures, then printed each one as an 8 x 10, pasted them together and produced a poster of all the postures. The effect is like an Escher drawing. Asanas is a stylish, design-driven book of these black and white photographs, with commentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of yoga postures, 10 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Asanas: 608 Yoga Postures: 708 Yoga Postures (Paperback)

This book has a fascinating story behind it - and this makes up for the 'cut and paste' look to the pictures in this book. This is very small and compact in size, with very little text - making it a great posture index useful for reference. Each page contains Dharma Mittra in a posture, with both the english and sanskrit translation. It is also very useful because it shows many variations to a posture.
This is not a book that will teach you yoga, or give instructions - but to a more experienced yogi - a picture can sometimes be enough - or you can take the name and research it elsewhere. Dharma shows what an amazing yogi he is here !!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars WRONG TITLE - 608 YOGA POSTURES, 15 April 2004

Mr. Nicholas Goodwin "njg2810" (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Asanas: 608 Yoga Postures: 708 Yoga Postures (Paperback)

Firstly it's not 708, it's 608 yoga postures unless I’ve been jipped!?

I'm currently on a hunt for posture books, as I've just started teaching yoga, and this seemed like it'd be good. Well, it's good for postures, but it's a small, thick book (4" 5" 1"1/4) so you couldn't use it while practicing unless you look in-between attempts, or you bend the book and ruin it.

It’s a very sleek, stylised book, just photos with 22p of intro and an index.

I wouldn’t recommend this book for anyone not collecting posture books. For anyone looking for an all inclusive book I would recommend:
Asana, Pranayama, Mudra & Bandha by Swami Satyananda Saraswati,
The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga by Swami Vishnudevananda ,
The Yoga Bible: The Definitive Guide to Yogic Postures by Christina Brown ,
or Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar.

In that order, as B.K.S Iyenger has done more harm than good to real yoga, but he’s not the only one. Yoga is mysticism! Not a way to loose weight!

Amanda G. Raygen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Asanas: 608 Yoga Postures: 708 Yoga Postures (Paperback)

This man is a legend and the book is his sole work, he took all the photos of himself, himself and wow, a beautiful coffee table book to show just how the human body when working together with the mind, body and soul will open itself up and allow itself to be placed in these asanas and you feel great whilst in them. A lovely little book all ion black and white, it looks classy aswell.
