Summary: just what I needed
Review: I have been unable to touch my toes all of my life, "Yoga For Wimps." was recommended by a publication that I subscribe to. I have since been rewarded with a few aches,that have since led to my gaining flexibility where I thought there was not ever going to be any. This book has empowered me to work a lot harder at gaining something I never possessed to begin with, that being flexibility. As a 63 year old with Arthritis in my neck and spine Ms. Austin has given me insight into just how a few simple yet taxing exercises can be a very uplifting and invigorating. experience. If you possess the desire to feel better and are not afraid of a little challenge then this book will definitely give you the wherewithall to persevere your own personal goals,and I have just been getting started. IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: at last, a yoga book for me
Review: If you are a motivated, but overstressed, time-crunched person...someone who knows you should exercise more, stretch more, take better care...this book is a blessing. It won't gather dust on your shelf next to the other books on yoga, stretching, meditation, etc.

The routines are easy to understand, easy to do, and modelled by regular folks, so you don't end up feeling like a total loser because you can't do the poses like the yoginis in other books.

To show you what you can strive for in terms of good technique, the author of the book models poses in a later chapter. But most of the book gives short, easy routines that can help you gain flexibility day by day, or treat acute problems in a hurry.

They broke a lot rules making this book. It doesn't look like most other yoga books. But the result is fresh and totally worthwhile. As a naturopathic doctor, this is one I will recommend to my patients who want to get into some healthier habits, a little bit at a time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: request for mechanical change
Review: The book is wonderful, if only the publisher made it a book which could be laid flat, different binding
