SIVANANDA YOGA,
By Vic Larson (Manhattan Beach, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sivananda Companion to Yoga: A Complete Guide to the Physical Postures, Breathing Exercises, Diet, Relaxation, and Meditation Techniques of Yoga. (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on yoga. For years I've tried to get started with yoga but didn't know exactly how to do it. This book gives a step by step approach which serves as a guide as to how to get started. Not only are the physical positions described very well but also diet, meditation, and the spiritual aspects are treated admirably. I've read the book several times and am making good progress. I was so impressed with the book I bought a copy for my son, my daughter, and one for a friend. If this isn't the best book ever written on yoga, I'll be surprised. It is truly an inspirational book!

I love this book!,

This review is from: The Sivananda Companion to Yoga (Paperback)
I am just a beginner at yoga and I love this book because the instructions to the different asans (poses) are clear and understandable, AND the more complicated poses are explained through drawings and photos, not just text. You don't need to keep track of all the steps in your head as you move into the pose, it's all there in a series of drawings. So if you are a very visual person, I recommend this book. This book takes you through the most basic of asans to the most complicated. It has all kinds of drawings and photos, as well as chart-like things at the end of each section with a simple outline of the pose and a picture so you can put together your own yoga session. This book also has background on Yoga and things like diet and breathing. Some of the models are so lithe they are gross looking, and some of the poses will make you say "Holy Hell!" to yourself, but secretly you will want to learn to do them too. A great book!

The Sivananda method to yoga has changed my life,
By "ksotelo" (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sivananda Companion to Yoga: A Complete Guide to the Physical Postures, Breathing Exercises, Diet, Relaxation, and Meditation Techniques of Yoga. (Paperback)
I received this book as a gift after I had been diagnosed with fibromyalga.I had already been practicing for a few years, but this book enabled me to depen my practice. I have since been certified to teach through the Sivananda Vedanta Yoga Centers. I love this book I come back to it again and again. It is complete in its approach. There is not too much to overwhelm the beginner, but enough substance for advanced yogi or yogini. As yoga sweeps through the West with a heavy emphasis on the asanas, this book offers ways to bring all aspects of yoga to your life. My husband uses to book for his practice and we have bought it for other family members. Om Shanti
