Simple, but gets results,
This review is from: Beginning Yoga (Paperback)
I bought this book on the advice of a friend who knows a fair amount about Yoga. Just to make sure, I compared it with other books on the shelves of a New Age bookstore. I saw dozens of books about Yoga, some big and lavishly illustrated coffee-table books, some detailed treatises with clinical/anatomical exegesis. There was even an "Idiot's guide" to Yoga. This book was not only the simplest, but also the most authentic one, without a lot of hi-tech jargon, and with clear illustrations, and speaking from a true love of the tradition, exemplified by a photo of Patrap's distinguished teacher on the flyleaf, followed by the introductory quotation: "Let wellness and prosperity be bestowed upon you." The book consists of individual descriptions of 27 poses, followed by a collection of several multi-pose "practise plans" geared to different levels of difficulty. There is also a glossary of Indian technical terms. I have been doing the most beginner-level practise plan for about 6 months now off and on, and it always does make me feel much better. When I first began to do it, I had to look at the book a lot to remember what to do, but eventually I learned it by heart and it became much more fluid, so that it's easy and relaxing to do, and I really do feel like doing it when I need to relax and stretch out. But the benefits of this exercise go beyond just stretching out - there's something about the sequence of poses that not only stretches your muscles but also establishes good circulation and restores stressed-out nerves. The result is not quite as powerful as going swimming, but you can do it in your bedroom!

Absolutely terrific,

This review is from: Beginning Yoga (Paperback)
I purchased this book two years ago to familiarize myself with Yoga. I could barely bend and had back problems. After six months my flexibility tripled and I was hooked. I now take classes. I've since purchased this book for many relatives and friends who have expressed a Yoga interest. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Authentic Classical Yoga book written by a practicing Yogi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Yoga (Paperback)
This book appears so simple, yet everytime I read it I find something new. It is the perfect companion for practicing. The format is excellent, the illustrations well done and the instructions are clear. 8 progressive practice plans in the back of the book include proper timing, correct sequences and drawings of each posture. Beginning breathing practices ( Pranayama ) and relaxation techniques are also included. Are you interested in practicing traditional Classical Yoga? Then begin with this book. Practice and have fun!!! Lauri
