Customer Reviews

Great info in a small presentation

I really liked this small but "big" book, basic begginers' info but refreshing. The good thing about yoga and this book is that each time you read/practice it you see something else you didn't "read/saw" before. Really fits in your gym bag.

yoga wisdom

As the product suggests, this book is full of wisdom from around the globe and centuries.I love, LOVE this book because it has yoga teachings and many other useful guidance for life. I strongly recommend this book.

More than 5 stars on a 5 star scale!

This book is AWESOME!!! Not only is the information in it diverse and inspiring, 1,001 Pearls of Yoga Wisdom is great to read in any situation. It can be read the whole way through, section by section, or opened to a random page for one 'pearl' paragraph at a time. It contains yoga poses, quotes, insights, visualizations, advice, mantras, mudras, and much more. I am a yoga teacher, and I've used it in my classes. The students seem to really enjoy it as well. If you like yoga, or even if you don't know much about it yet, this book is an excellent buy.

words of wisdom

This is my little "go to" book for use in my yoga classes when setting an intention or closing with food for thought.
