Product Description

Product Description
Providing clear guidance on the practice of the most important aspects of yoga, this practical handbook covers different types and how they are practised. It contains a history of yoga and the concepts behind it and explains yoga breathing and meditation with clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations showing how to perform the poses. The aim is to help the reader to establish a daily practice routine by suggesting a basic beginners' sequence, with moves and positions to copy, and this edition offers added sections on yoga in pregnancy and yoga today. Yoga is one of the most popular forms of exercise and relaxation and this book shows the beginner how yoga can become a way of life. It address all aspects of our lives, from muscles and joints to tendencies buried deep in the subconscious and the book explains how through practice we can work through our negative tendencies, rendering them inoperative in the future and so gaining liberation.

3.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introductory book., 25 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I bought 'Teach Yourself Yoga' some time ago but only looked at it recently when I wanted to supplement my weekly classes with a daily practice. It clearly explains the different types of yoga, and different aspects of each type. It includes most of the basic postures and a few more advanced ones (I am still struggling with the headstand), three routines, and guidelines for constructing your own routines. There are also sections on breathing, meditation, and therapeutic use of yoga.

I have found it very useful in starting to do my own practice, and although it covers everything of importance, it's not so huge that I felt overwhelmed. The language is easy to understand without being 'dumbed down'. However, having attended classes for over a year I am aware that there are lots of postures which are not included, and that can be frustrating. Good for starting out, even if you already have some knowledge of yoga, but readers may want to move on to a more comprehensive reference book once they have exhausted the resources here.
