terrific book

This book was recommended to me by my yoga teacher and its terrific. It shows a variety of postures and explains their benefits. Having been recently diagnosed with MS I was looking for information on things I could do to help myself in addition to the conventional medicines and this book had reference to MS in it and how yoga can benefit those with certain diseases. The pictures are great as are the explainations. I highly recommend this book

Gentle is a strong presence in this book.

This book shows people who aren't flexible or impaired that anyone can do YOGA. It has unique quotes placed between chapters to inspire. Poses are shown, then modifications are pictured some are actually photos, others black and white drawings. I viewed this book, while in the hospital, it was helpful in regaining my focus on health and exercise.The book is unique in it's style; It is very descriptive and encouraging to anyone to try and receive the benefits that YOGA offers.
