Yoga Mind and Body (DK Living)

Rating:

This high quality book is the best I've found for a yoga PRACTICE. It clearly shows and explains the major asanas and there variations and also covers many other aspects of yoga. It is written in a concise style where you don't need to do much sifting to get to what is important.

You don't really need expensive tapes/dvds - unless it is for motivation.

"The Complete Illustrated Book Of Yoga" is an equally good book with more philosophy and detailed info.

Someone complained that the asanas were shown in a too difficult to do way. Yes, the correct way is more difficult than the sloppy/coddled way. You will benefit some if sloppy; more and more as you become more correct.

I have read dozens of books on Yoga and have practiced it for several years. This is a really good concise book on Yoga and healthy way of living. Nicely illustrated & authentic. Good as a primer or as a reference.

This is by far one of the best all around books for the basics of yoga. I strongly recommend anyone interested in yoga, just starting yoga or even someone established in their practice add this book to their library.

This book is a very clear guide to the art of yoga. It includes the brief history of yoga too This gives you background information as well as a starting point of how to begin the practise and how to start the positions as well as how to advance once you have mastered the Asanas(positions)There is also breathing exercises and diets to follow as well as some good recipes! I found it very helpful as I was attending a yoga training course.
