Yoga Your Way : Customizing Your Home Practice

Summary: Wonderful User Friendly Yoga Book
Review: I have many yoga books and I find this one the easiest to practice from. The spiral binding and being able to move the left and right pages separately make it so easy to use. On the left page is a practice seuqence and on the right page is one of 44 different poses. There are 31 practice sequences that range from 10 to 90 minutes. On the back of each asana page are several modifications with various props. The author is an Iyengar teacher and the instructions are very detailed. I highly recommend this as a way to get started on a home practice or to get some new ideas for those who already have a home practice.

Summary: Yoga Your Way
Review: Namaste! I've examined and used a large number of yoga manuals, and I feel sure that you will love this book! Its unique and handily-designed format goes far toward making it the only yoga guide you'll ever need. Ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners. What you get for the very low price of $12.95 (Canada C$19.95) is incredible! All your questions about yoga are answered by the authors, who really know their stuff. Outstanding photos (from different angles, many in multiple "sequence style" to help you perfect the fluidity of moving poses) with explanatory instructions and pointers make it so easy for you to customize your home yoga practice to your own requirements ... and stick with it!

Spiral-bound split-page format allows easy use and reference for a specially selected core group of "44 poses" (Iyengar tradition, the basis for many yoga styles today) and "31 practice sequences" (varying in length from 10-90 minutes, and ranging from vigorous to restorative). Absolutely excellent, very clear and well-thought-out - yet detailed - explanations and background notes fill you in on every aspect of your yoga practice.

The volume also contains an All About Yoga section, a great Glossary and assorted Practice Selection Charts to help you craft and vary your yoga routine, while ensuring that you get the benefits you desire.

The wealth of information contained here is worth the cover price many times over. Just examine this book at your bookstore - turn to any page and read just a bit - and I think you'll wind up eagerly buying it, amazed at the value. Recommend it to your yoga-loving friends, and give it as an economical gift to your non-yoga-practicing friends to get them started on a beautiful life and health journey! They'll love you for it!

Summary: Helpful for beginners, experienced students and teachers
Review: Yoga Your Way: Customizing Your Home Practice is the book many of us have been waiting for! The clever premise of split pages and spiral binding assures its user friendliness. The information is detailed with clear instructions and pictures both for the classic poses and for modifications with props. The sequences are well-rounded and are structured around themes of standing and balancing, extending, opening, twisting, and restoring. The questions and answers and words of encouragement are also helpful. This is also one of the few books that features sequences in lengths from 10 to 90 minutes. This book will be a classic!
