Rating: Summary: It is a return to wholeness Review: This book seems to have a lot of information in it for exercises for all parts of the body. I did not see any illustrations however. I would have liked to see some pictures of the exercises. Could be I didn't click on the right pages.
Rating: Summary: a phenomenal yoga book Review: This is a beautiful book. The writing is clear and beautiful and so easy to understand. The pictures are excellent. The yoga asana routines are exceptional. This is one of the best yoga books i have seen ever and i have been doing yoga for a while.
Rating: Summary: My favorite yoga book ever Review: This is the yoga book I've been waiting for. I am an active middle age athlete/busy professional who has found that yoga makes me feel good and so I've purchased many books and videos in my efforts to learn more on my own. For me, Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit pulls together the disciplines (moving principles, anatomy, yamas/niyamas, mediatation) one needs to understand to realize the true benefits of yoga practice. The communication of these areas through the written word, photographs and illustrations (incredible helpful), and organization and layout makes every page a gem. Most of all the spirit of Donna Farhi's own "digging" into the subject area and learning comes through in a generous sharing and caring for the reader's own efforts to yield the fruits of yoga practice. Her crystal clear communication, examples, and her unique way of presenting principles have already enabled me to refocus my own practice into a more enjoyable and transforming experience - without all the stress and struggle I generally brought to my practice. Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit is a wonderful, enjoyable "workbook" and tool for learning more about your own true nature through yoga. And it is one of the most beautifully produced book I own. It's a great experience.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous Guide for Beginners! Review: This may be the best yoga book I've ever read. There is an excellent section on the mechanics of movement, and the descriptions of the poses are very thorough, and very detailed. The photos of what NOT to do are especially helpful. This book will be interesting to all yoga students, but I think it's absolutely invaluable for the beginner because it is so well-thought out and descriptive--A must-have!
