Excellent Book for Beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Yoga (Paperback)
As a beginner in Yoga, with little time for a regular weekly session, I bought two books for beginners. Dynamic Yoga and also Power Yoga for Beginners. Both books are excellent but if I was only buying one I would choose Dynamic Yoga. The main reason being that it is better at describing the flow of movements from one pose to another. It also is better at describing the breathing sequences when doing the Sun Salutations. The only quibile is that it would be of great advantage if it was spiral bound.

Learn Step-by-Step, You'll Use it Each Day,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Yoga (Paperback)
This is a really good book to refer to each day as you go about learning Ashtanga/power yoga. It's just page after page of very detailed photography of each pose, and most importantly "transitional moves"!! I finally learned the key to jumping back safely in and out of the vinyasa/flow sequence. For someone mid-30s, average health, average flexibility, this book makes a daunting type of yoga practice much more attainable.There is little here about yoga philosophy, but what is there is straightforward. Good help with pronunciation and learning the Sanskrit versions of the asana names. Good book overall. I now use it every day.

By A Customer
This review is from: Dynamic Yoga (Paperback)
I would highly recommend this great book for any level of yoga study.This is the best book on the subject I have ever seen. It is easy to follow. It also has diagrams not only for the different poses, but a guide that easily shows the proper breathing techiques. Go for it. It's the best value around.
