Yoga to Go: A Take-It-With-You guide for Travelers

Rating:
Summary: an excellent addition to your yoga bookshelf
Review: ...And if you don't have a yoga bookshelf, this would be a good place to start. YOGA TO GO is a well-written, handsomely produced (and very inexpensive!) yoga manual that works well as a general primer for yoga novices, but which also has something new to offer the more experienced: specific advice for how to continue your yoga practice while travelling. That is, how to use yoga to counteract the usual array of discombobulating travel-related irritations (bad food, long hours in cramped seats, time changes, lost sleep, etc.). Carino's book also offers simple and sage advice on some peripheral topics -- such as how to eat well in places where the only options seem to be Burger King and Taco Bell; and how to meditate on a plane while the guy seated next to you drools on your shoulder.

Carino's writing style is fluid and accessible and should appeal equally to those for whom yoga is a spiritual pursuit, and those for whom it is primarily an exercise regimen.

This is Paula Carino's first book. I hope we can look forward to more from her.

Summary: Entertaining, doable, perfect for travel
Review: The visual appeal of this book -- its small size, heavyweight paper, and crystal clear photos -- all add to the top-notch instruction and sage advice for yoga either on the road or at home. The book consists of five chapters, focusing on postures, routines, and advice for achieving optimal wellness while on the road. The poses are photographed clearly, and the best part is the modifications recommended for beginners. This is the perfect complement to a beginning yogi or yogini's library, and I certainly intend on taking the book with me when I travel. The recommended routines are simple enough to perform in a hotel room, while the book itself will inspire me to look after my health while traveling. Highly recommended.
