Customer Reviews

Great for us over 50 gals!

I really think this is a great book for all of us over 50 gals. The photos are helpful and the description of the moves thorough. I also like the fact that the photos are of rather average women with a few grey hairs and wrinkles! Enjoy!

Yoga Over 50 Book

Good book. I've done yoga before, so I was familiar with poses. If you haven't done yoga before, this may be hard for a first-timer.

Yoga books

I use this book allot in teaching and showing my older students that no matter what age, yoga is for everyone.

Excellent Starter for Beginners of any Age

I started using this book at age 41, and found it is extremely practical & provides easy to follow directions. The recommended programs at the back give guidance that other books don't. I have mild sciatica now rather than the crippling back pain I suffered from 2 years ago, before following the programs in this book.
