Yogacise

This is an excellent book for the yoga beginner. You can go at your own pace, and Vimla clearly demonstrates each move. It is very positive, very simply presented. I totally agree with the other reviewer, that a spiral bound book would be great, I place a weight on mine when I use it. I also agree with what the other reviewer said about a video being better to follow along if you are near-sighted...maybe Vimla will do a video for us! The main point I'd like to share is that the book got me started on Yoga, and feeling better about myself. Sometimes videos seem too long and hard, because they move along quickly, and this book as I said above, helped me practise at my own pace.

Great for beginners

I borrowed this GEM from my local library & found it to be VERY helpful for me...a beginner. Vimla does an excellent job demonstrating each phase of the exercise with full-color photos. There are 5 different sections of exercises: Rise & Shine, Energizer, Ultimate Stretch, Classical, & De-Stress. (53 exercises in all) Do them all, or one section at a time. Go at your own pace & do whatever section you choose depending on your day.The only setback I see to this book (or any Yoga book) is that I have to stop & re-read the instructions while trying to complete the exercise. (Being nearsighted makes it a challenge (or impossible) to stay in the posture & read) I'm sure that will reduce as I learn the movements. This is where having a video is a definate plus.Shouldn't it be a rule that Yoga instruction books be spiral bound so you don't have a put paper weights on them??!!! (I hope this book will go back in print very soon... & maybe in a SPIRAL bound edition?)
