A Book for Every Woman, 8 Dec 2002
By Sheela Porter Smith CNM, CRNP - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everywoman's Yoga (Paperback)
EVERY WOMAN'S YOGA is a book written for Every woman...young...old...skinny...plump...rich...poor...of color...white..As a nurse-midwife and nurse-practitioner in women's health, I have come to appreciate the beauty in each and Every Woman and also how the practice of yoga can enhance that inherent beauty. Since the completion of my training, 15 years ago, I have been waiting for a book I can offer to ALL women. I feel EVERY WOMAN'S YOGA is this book. It is a book for the woman accomplished in yoga as well as for the woman who thinks yog(urt) is something you eat for desert.
One of EVEWRY WOMAN'S YOGA's greatest features is that it takes you skillfuly step-by-step from where you currently are in your yoga practice toward greater accomplishiment. A basic posture is first introduced and then a more challenging or an easier variation is given, allowing a woman to adjust her practice daily and thus continually progress. The author also intertwines these progressive steps in flexibility with the breath...the ultimate link between the mind and the body.
Another great feature of EVERY WOMAN'S YOGA is the author's encouragement for the woman to create her own practice...gone are the days of sitting isolated in a classroom for hours at a time...from feeling you missed the ship if you didn't get in that morning practice. NOW are the days of incorportating the practice into the whole day..doing pranayam while out for a walk....the pelvic tilt while waiting for the bus...agni sara in the the lunch line. HELLO MODERN YOGINIS!!!
The most valuable asset, however, is the continual references the author makes to the deeper aspects of yoga philosophy and training. These teachings encourage the woman to explore challenges in her ongoing spiritual journey. So while on the surface, the book seems to be dedicated only to yoga postures, it is really leading a woman on a deeper path.
If you have not read this book, I whole heartedly encourage you to give yourself a treat for the holidays !!!(and the rest of your life).

Phenomenal, 18 Jan 2003
By Aileen Crow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everywoman's Yoga (Paperback)
Jaime Stover Schmitt's EVERY WOMAN'S YOGA is a phenomenal achievement. Dr. Schmitt tells eerything worth knowing about yoga in a personal, kind, warm and engaging way. Even more than that, she guides the reader into the self healing world of spontaneous movement where the wisdom of the body becomes the inner teacher. No other book on yoga has done anything like that. This book is unique and self empowering.

The best women's yoga book, 1 Nov 2002
By Felicia Marks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everywoman's Yoga (Paperback)
I love this book! I am not interested in seeing the way western marketing portrays women - obsessed with thinness, desperately seeking to retain a youthful appearance at all costs! This book by-passes all of that, and offers sound advice for women of ALL AGES AND BODY TYPES. There is a lot in here! If you want to study real yoga, not just the fad, this book has got what you are looking for. The author is funny, humble and caring, and she knows her subject.
Listmania!
