Yoga Your Way

By Susanna MacKenzie Euston and Cindy Dollar

A unique split-page format helps yoga lovers easily personalize their routines-and keep their home practice varied, fun, and highly individual. With the help of this unique and innovative manual, yoga practitioners can work to their optimum level and tailor their exercise to fit their individual needs. The secret lies in the split-page design that features 40 poses, or asanas, on one side and 30 practice routines on the other. Every yogi will be able to construct an ideal session, whether the desire is for a quick 10-minute routine to destress or a full 45-minute workout that strengthens back muscles. Color photos capture the intricacies of each movement; notes on details and variations accompany each pose; and there are observations, advice, and frequently asked questions for particular positions. Beginners will especially appreciate the valuable information on creating a pleasant practice environment, using the book in conjunction with other yoga instructions, and finding and working with props. Cindy Dollar lives in Asheville, NC. Susanna MacKenzie Euston lives in Arden, NC.

Make This Your FIRST Yoga Book

This book was recommended by our local yoga instructor. The spiral binding makes the book lie flat. I really like the split pages with the practices on one side (very wide range from beginner to advanced) and the poses on the other. Arrangement is very simple and straightforward. The teacher kept this book out as a constant reference--which was a good enough recommendation for me--and she is a certified Iyengar instructor with years of practice.

Best Yoga Book Available

Yoga Your Way is (by far) the most user friendly and thoughtfully designed yoga manual to appear on the market. The authors have paid careful attention to detail, insuring that the information presented is comprehensive, helpful, & presented in such a way that anyone can create a daily practice to fit his/her unique needs. This is an extraordinary publication, a must for yoga practitioners at every level.

Absolutely Awesome

I love this book...very user-friendly. There are so many practices (including the suggesting time for each practice) that you could choose from and several modifications. The explanation and illustrations are clear and precise. If you are looking for a yoga book...consider this one.

Yoga Your Way

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!

Wonderful User Friendly Yoga Book

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.
