Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Yee’s trademark long dark ponytail, rock-hard body and constantly serene facial expression have comforted many stressed-out would-be yogi who watch his dozens of bestselling yoga videos. In this new work, he offers yoga practitioners a two-month regimen that they can adopt as a home practice. Yee promises that his regimen will bring readers "physical and emotional well-being," as well as "various insights... about the nature of yoga." The book begins by covering practical concerns—how to prepare a home yoga practice, decide on practice times, set up a location and props—before proceeding to lay out the eight-week program, which tackles a different aspect of yoga each week (e.g., "Moving Toward Balance" and "Being Present"). Anatomy lessons, advice on breathing, copious photographs and detailed directions enhance this friendly guide, making it one of the most comprehensive and accessible yoga books on the market.

Review
"While yoga classes can be illuminating, it is in one's home practice where the depth and subtlety of yoga is cultivated. Moving toward Balance makes an important contribution by presenting a systematic approach to developing and maintaining a yoga practice. It will speak to everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners." -Patricia Walden, instructor of best-selling yoga videos and contributor to The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health
"A tremendous amount of insight and practical information is housed within these pages, presented in an orderly, thorough, friendly, and truly helpful manner. Rod and Nina have obviously put a lot of work into this book and have done an excellent job. Plus, it has an important, timely, and often overlooked theme at its core: how to practice on your own and learn from it. What better gift could there be from one of the world's premier yoga teachers than to learn how to do what he is doing?" --Erich Schiffmann, author of Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness
"Rodney Yee is the key that opens the door, allowing you to tap into your mind, body, and soul. He is the charge of electricity that channels the flow of energy, allowing endless possibilities to emerge. I am honored to call him my teacher and friend." --Donna Karan
"In Moving toward Balance, Rodney Yee's instructions are clear and full of the practical details that take you step-by-step to an incredible state of being. This book makes me want to unroll my mat and practice right now!" --Richard Freeman, author of The Yoga Matrix and director of the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado

Really helps make yoga your own,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee (Paperback)
After having done yoga on and off for the past three years, this book really helped me incorporate yoga into my every day life. I have taken yoga classes and practiced with numerous videos, but it never really felt like "my own" until I started using this book eight weeks ago. Not only does doing yoga every day revolutionize how your body feels, but the workouts are extremely well-developed and enjoyable. Yee's pictures and explanations are incredibly helpful and encouraged me to do things (ie: backbends, handstands, and headstands) that I never thought I'd try by myself at home; I always felt safe and prepared for the poses. I cannot say enough good things about this book. I actually look forward to doing yoga every morning. I feel like Yee has prepared me to practice at home much beyond the eight weeks he promises. I will never do another video; I enjoy too much looking out my window, listening to my music, while doing yoga at my own pace. Thank you Rodney Yee!

I have been,"away" from Yoga for several years. While searching through amazon, for a gift book,(for someone else),I came across this one. Needless to say when it arrived,I was curious so I looked through it.I kept it for myself, Now, I am following the "course"! This book is better than ANY yoga class or dvd. It'a like having my own private Yogi! I am now in week 4 day 4 and am so PROUD of my accomplishments! Try this book you have so much to "gain"! Thank you Rodney Yee!!

Must Have,

This review is from: Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee (Paperback)
Using this book is a great way to skip yoga class and maintain a regular yoga practice at home. I shared Moving Toward Balance with a roommate for several years, but since he owned the book I absolutely had to order it once we found separate living accommodations.The first few days of the 8 weeks are mostly relatively simple poses; the later weeks progress to more advanced poses like half-moon and hand stands. Easier, alternative poses are also given. An excellent source!
