From the Back Cover
The Complete Yoga Book is an encyclopedia of yoga practice and practical yoga as well as of the philosophy and background of yoga. It is divided into three sections.
The first of these is concerned with raising the levels of health and energy through breathing. The second section constitutes one of the most important guides ever published of the Asanas, or postures of yoga. Clear, easy to follow instructions and drawings accompany Hewitt's descriptions of over 400 postures. The author includes warm-ups and many modifications of basic postures for beginners or those with specific problems. The third section deals with the history and philosophy of yoga and surveys in depth the various meditative methods including transcendental meditation. He discusses the possession of psychic powers and the potentialities of bio-feedback and relates all these developments to the classic techniques of meditation and yoga.

This book contains a concise guide of over 400 Yoga moves ranging from the easiest to some of the hardest so you can gradually progress to the harder moves. It also contains sections on the Yoga of Karma (give what you expect to receive) and detailed explanation of different breathing exercises and also meditation. Overall an excellent guide to Yoga which contains all that you need to know and then a vast majority of info that you need to know once you have mastered the moves enclosed -a must have for any one interested in Yoga.

I think this is a fab book for anyone genuinely interested in yoga as a holistic lifestyle. Yoga is not just about the postures and so if that's what your after it'll come as a surprise. Here Hewitt does a great job of talking about every aspect of this ancient practice clearly and compassionately.
I'm an aspiring yogin but also doing a Masters in Religion. It's been a valuable resource for both aspects of my life.

more of a manual than a book
This book wasn't really what I was expecting. I expected a book which would tell me everything I needed to know about Yoga in a clear and well presented manner. Read more
