Editorial Reviews

Review

“I’m grateful for Jasmine’s attention to the mind, as well as the body. I came to yoga following an injury and approached the mat like an active volcano, terrified I'd hurt myself again. Her practical suggestions are great for creating a practice that supports our individual needs and our impossible schedules, and her attention to Seva, or ‘selfless service,’ is both an inspiration and a challenge to our lives on and off the mat.”
―Megan Stielstra, author of Once I Was Cool

“Yoga works best when it is tailored to each person’s individuality. In the Yoga Body & Mind Handbook, Jasmine honors this need by offering the kind of personalization and guidance that respects each reader's specific abilities.”
―Mark Whitwell, Master Yoga Teacher and author of The Promise and Yoga of Heart

“Jasmine presents a full introduction to yoga―perfect for beginning students as she outlines poses and sequences in a clear and accessible way. She explains the deeper foundations of the practice including breathing and meditation techniques, Ayurveda, and yoga philosophy. Jasmine also encourages readers to contemplate ways to take yoga off the mat to benefit the community―a true gift of the yoga practice.”
―Renee LaRose, senior event manager at Yoga Journal

“Jasmine Tarkeshi has so much unique hands-on experience working with yoga practitioners. As the co-founder of Laughing Lotus Studios, Jasmine is one of the leading voices in the sophisticated San Francisco yoga scene, where she is loved. Her book is a timely and contemporary reflection of her life's mission: to share the sacred wisdom of this ancient healing practice.”
―Rob Sidon, publisher of Common Ground Magazine

Great place to start for beginners
I started doing yoga when I was in high school and since then I have bought only a few yoga flow dvd’s. I don’t know much more than some very basic yoga. Recently I wanted to really learn yoga and advance my skill in it so I bought a few yoga books, including this one. When I first looked in it I worried it wouldn’t be helpful because there are a lot of very basic moves, but there are variations that I am not super familiar with and I feel like this is a good place to start. If you are very familiar with yoga then this book may not be for you. I

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend for beginning home practice
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

I started taking studio yoga classes about 9 months ago. In the last month I decided to develop my own home routine and stopped the classes. I did buy a strap, 2 eggs, and a block from the studio, and I am happy with those props. I had learned a lot in class but I wasn’t happy with the pose choices many days. Some poses actually caused shoulder or hip soreness within 24 hours - but were no problem during the pose at the time. Some days I just didn’t feel like I stretched what I really wanted to stretch or I just didn’t feel satisfied/comfortable with the sequence in the class. This book has reenforced what I learned in class as well as introduced me to new poses or pose variations. I am now able to put together a flowing yoga sequence of my own that leaves me feeling far more satisfied, and I am not feeling sore muscles/joints afterwards. I continue to go through the book every week, noting poses to try next to keep challenging myself. For this retired beginner, this book has been exactly what I needed to begin a satisfying and challenging home practice, after 8 months of learning in a yoga studio.

The book content is approachable and digestible. Jasmine's depth of knowledge is evident and it is such a gift to have this book as I teach yoga to high schoolers. They can pick up this book and dive in without headier texts that have the tendency to turn them off. Thank you, Jasmine for this book!

That being said, I bought the book through Amazon and it arrived with serious bubbling on the cover from an improper finishing job. So much that you could hardly read the title! The return was easy enough, but the second book that arrived had a tear in the back. Because I'm taking this as a sign to embrace the imperfections of life, I will be keeping this second one.

I have always been neglectful of excercise, plus I'm underweight and I've MS, and my muscle mass has been minimal for a few years now. But since I started using this book as a guide (only the simplest poses, nothing crazy, I am very selective when choosing my poses) and it's been three weeks, I noteced my butt getting rounder and my biceps and stomach more shapely. I am sure it's not the book per se that made the difference but yoga itself, but in my case I learned the poses from the book, and so I'm obliged to give it 5stars. The paper is very good quality and the descriptions are detailed and include breathing instructions.

I have a few nice 'glossy' books about yoga, so found it a little difficult to adjust to a kindle yoga book. However, once I got over that minor mental hurdle and got into the book, I was quite impressed. The author explains things clearly and simply. It's a 'no frills' straightforward book of guidance and instruction for both men and women. Well worth the price. Recommend it.
