I recommend buying them as a set..the poses in this book are easy to read; I do wish that some poses would have been marked as difficult, or for advanced practicers..the size makes it easy to carry or pack in a bag, when you travel. I enjoy the Idiots book series, well-written, researched and worth the money. Excellent quick reference I've been looking for a book like this for years. It's small format, and just a quick reference to many different poses. Diagrams are very good, and so are the bried the descriptions of how to do the pose correctly. Excellent Book ! This book was a real surprise and delight to me. I figured it would just be a quick review / summary of the most basic asanas in yoga. It turns out to not only be that but to also have excellent drawings showing the postures, excellent descriptions of the postures, and a review of the basics that most yoga styles do not teach you. Namely, the rules of bodily mechanics taught to Osteopathic Physicians and used to heal people with Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, and which are integrated into the style of yoga called Anusara Yoga, are taught in this book. This of course makes this one of the best possible yoga books out there! And probably one of the cheapest also due to its small size. Buy it! Read It, Enjoy It! handy addition to your yoga collection i teach pilates classes but like to add yoga moves into my classes. this book provides excellent step by step instructions for many poses. i like the clear drawings, unlike the other poster i actually prefer drawings because pictures can sometimes look outdated. this book feels current and "fresh". the book is small, i can trhow it in my gym bag for a quick reference.
Tiny, but chock-full! I've found this very useful: for travel, for a quick reminder of a pose, for inspiration. In addition to being a great How-To, it gives loads of information that I haven't gotten in classes, including wonderful explanations for physical and inner effects of, and safety precautions for, poses.
