I am just getting into yoga using an app from the Play store, and I was looking for something to supplement the exercises as I need ALL the help I can get. Since I'm trying to do this more or less on my own, I wanted something that would offer more detail and instruction to use with the app. I bought one book which was waaaaaaaay too much for me. This one, however, is fantastic. It is truly a guide for beginners.
The instructions are simple and easy to understand. The way the book is organized is perfect (for me), as it goes through warm up, exercises (broken into chapters for sitting, standing, etc.), and cool down.
ALSO I really like that it gives the reader the purpose for each exercise. I like to know why I'm doing something and what I'm supposed to be getting out of it. This helps me know if I'm hitting the target or not.
Finally, there is a lot of great, general information about yoga. The book also provides exercises for certain ailments, like back pain, as well as meditation techniques and tips.
In short, this is a good place to start and would be a great accompaniment to any beginner's yoga practice. I am extremely happy I found it!

This book is perfect for someone who is new to Yoga. The book has five sections. The first discusses basics and defines a lot of "yoga" words. The second section discusses the importance of practicing and having a clear space and mind for your yoga practice. The third section describes and shows illustrations of the proper poses, tells you the name of each pose, describes what benefits the pose offers, and even offers counter-poses if you are not ready for this pose yet. There are also helpful tips for each pose. Once you learn the poses the fourth section gives you lists of sequences to choose from. The fifth section discusses your diet and nutrition and how to be mindful when you eat and when making decisions of what to eat. Section six discusses the importance and types of meditation to practice. Lastly section seven discusses specialty cases like yoga over 60 and yoga while pregnant. There is also an appendix with just illustrations as a reminder and a glossary of terms in case you get confused or need to refresh your memory. A great book for someone thinking about starting a yoga regimen.
I personally LOVE doing yoga and I especially love doing it in the morning so that it sets the tone of the entire day to a relaxing and thankful feeling for being alive. I always feel rejuvenated and refreshed after a yoga session and recommend it to anyone, with skills at any level. *I received a sample of this item in return for an honest and unbiased review*
