Excellent Guide
This guide was excellently written, making for easy reading and working through. Not only did it explain how to do certain postures, but explained also what the benefits were. Finally, it emphasised safety and a certain amount of caution for postures in a vey professional manner. Weather using it alongside a Yoga course or making up your own routine, this is the best...

Not bad for information
This book is fine for those who want information about yoga, but those, like me, who actually wanted to actually practice yoga will probably find it lacking. It seems to say that if you actually want to do Yoga, then go to classes (which, if like me, you work shifts, is impossible) or buy another book/video.

Informative, simple to understand, comprehensive in coverage, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This book was extremely well-written so that even a novice yoga practitioner could understand the descriptions. Special attention was given to protecting a sensitive back, valuable information for our population in which most everyone suffers back problems at some time. The illustrations were very clear and appropriate to the text. This is truly a book that would be able to inform even a "dummy" yet it is still appealing to a more experienced yoga participant. Overall very intelligently written and entertaining.

Covers all with wit and style; ageless wisdom with a smile., 6 April 1999
By A Customer
This "dummies" format demystifies the mystical and accentuates the practical. In short, for this unlikely topic, it succeeds brilliantly. (What's next, Buddhism for Blondes? But seriously...) In one panoramic survey the authors deliver sleek, functional tools with upbeat and motivating energy, so you can "just do it" & learn Yoga. This is an encyclopedic yet highly entertaining version of the millenial science of Yoga. It sheds new and ultra-direct light on the old life-enhancing discipline. Taking the often pretentious territory of Yoga and rendering it with simplicity and a sense of humor, the authors convey the essentials in easy text and pictures, without sacrificing authenticity. This book speaks directly to "dummies" (positivist translation: people who prefer books to spare the boredom and superfluous nonsense). In kindergarten we learned "Books are our friends". This book invokes the spirit of a charming while challenging, philosophical but sensible, personal trainer.
