Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent introduction to dynamic yoga. I had been to a few classes when i bought it so I had a grasp of the basics but this book has been invaluable in helping me practise at home. What sets it apart from the other books I have seen are the step-by-step photos of how to get into each position, and how to move from one to another. Not only that, but it offers alternatives if you aren't yet flexible enough to reach some of the harder positions. These 2 factors mean that a beginner won't feel disheartened, or risk doing damage trying to stretch into a position they are not ready for. At the back of the book there are 3 practice sequences (of 30, 60 and 90 minutes) which make it easier trying to fit practise into a busy life. Just 15 minutes of dynamic yoga every day really does make a difference and this book makes that achievable. There is plenty of information on the background of yoga and starting out.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of taking up yoga as it is clearly explained and the author recognises that few people have 90 minutes a day in which to practice!

This is the best book on yoga I have ever seen.
10 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I would highly recommend this great book for any level of yoga study.
This is the best book on the subject I have ever seen.
It is easy to follow.
It also has diagrams not only for the different poses,
but a guide that easily shows the proper breathing techiques.

Learn Step-by-Step, You'll Use it Each Day
25 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a really good book to refer to each day as you go about learning Ashtanga/power yoga. It's just page after page of very detailed photography of each pose, and most importantly "transitional moves"!! I finally learned the key to jumping back safely in and out of the vinyasa/flow sequence. For someone mid-30s, average health, average flexibility, this book makes a daunting type of yoga practice much more attainable.
There is little here about yoga philosophy, but what is there is straightforward. Good help with pronunciation and learning the Sanskrit versions of the asana names.
Good book overall. I now use it every day.
