Product Description

Review
This book should be translated into as many languages as possible. Some comments on a first read and practice of self-adjustments: 1/ top quality production and design (unusual binding but it feels like it will last) 2/ clear and precise writing with abundant and excellent photographs. 3/ will be beneficial to anyone training or teaching within any of the yoga schools and traditions which are hatha yoga based. Congratulations to Brian (and everyone who helped) on a great achievement. Namaste, Paul --Paul: Yoga teacher - Ireland

"I am honoured to write the foreword for Yoga: The Art of Adjusting. The detailed art of adjusting Yoga postures has been accomplished in this book in a loving and practical format. It also comes at a fortuitous moment. With the rapid increase of Yoga teachers all over the globe during the last few years, greater understanding of the art of adjusting has been missing in the printed form. I think Brian Cooper has done an excellent job of covering the key points of adjusting most of the postures of the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. He clearly explains the main focus of each posture, the direction to take with each posture and eventually how to learn to do each posture unaided without an adjustment. The visual aspects of each posture are conveyed precisely in a step-by-step format giving the reader practical insight into the wonderful art of touch. Enjoy!" --Foreword by Matthew Sweeney

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yoga Book on the Market, 15 Mar 2007
As a yoga teacher this quite simply is a MUST buy.

I have studied with Brian Cooper for many years and he really is one of the 'hidden' gems of yoga.

Brian Cooper is the director of Yoga Alliance UK, the main teacher training organisation in the UK. WIth over 40 years direct experience in practising / teaching yoga his knowledge and expertise is second to none.

This first book by Brian is a joy to read filling a much needed gap in the market. The book is a large format, hard cover, spiral bound (similar to David Swensons Practice Manual style)with LOTS of large beautiful pictures and bullet point descriptions.

In addition to Asana Adjustments there are sections on Partner Yoga (with the best Partner Pictures I've ever seen!) and Thai Massage.

It's a joy to look at even if you never want to teach.

This book should be on all teacher training course compulsory books.

Buy it today you wont regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Yoga book on the market today - Period!, 31 Oct 2007
This book is a hidden gem!

There is so much information in the book you can literally throw away all your other yoga books and concentrate on this one. Large format, spiral bound, beuatiful pictures with easy to read text (often bullet points for quick glance reference). Simple amazing how Dr Cooper has managed to convey such depth of information within an easy to use format.

One of the best yoga books ive been fortunate enough to acquire.

I cannot rate this book high enough. Buy it today.
