Product Description
We all know that yoga is great for stress relief, flexibility and weight control, but do we really know how and why it works? In gym classes and living rooms around the world students are familiar with the techniques of yoga practice, but often lack understanding of the 'why', 'how' and 'in what order'. As a result, bad habits and injuries can ensue. In yoga, as in any subject, the foundation is crucial and Yoga Explained addresses both the physical and theoretical aspects of this ancient art from its very beginnings. Using modern teaching skills, based on the popular lyengar method, over 100 foundation postures are introduced gradually over a series of 12 units, each with step-by-step instruction and guidance on how you can progress. This is coupled with simple, accessible insights into the philosophy that supports the practice. Yoga Explained offers a truly unique approach to learning and practising yoga. By the end of the book you will have a clear grasp of the foundation postures and relaxation techniques, plus a strong - essential - understanding of the overall purpose of yoga and its key doctrines.

Beautifully laid out book with first class explanations of all the asanas. From how to get into them, holding and coming out of them,all with clear step by step photographs. I bought this back last year as I had just joined an Iyengar Yoga class and this book works in perfect harmony with what I achieve in class.
It does include indepth essays and lessons, some of which I understood, some will take a little bit more reading to get to grips with, but very interesting nonetheless.
Books will never replace real teaching as far as yoga is concerned but this book comes pretty close to that.

I really appreciate the clear layout, good photos and explanations to be found in this book, but it has been quite frustrating to see so many repeated postures in each chapter, albeit with some refinements for particular problems. On the whole is is a good addition to my collection but I would have welcomed a greater variety of postures to be illustrated.
