• A Yoga Book That Works
05 December, 2009
This yoga book is everything I was hoping it would be. Yoga instruction books are a personal choice. Members of my family have a favorite yoga book that just does not work for me. I am a beginner, and the description of this book sounded like it would provide what I was looking for. It does not disappoint. The explanations of benefits the different poses provide are most helpful. The body positioning pictures are clear and directions for positioning concise. I highly recommend this book.

• Great Reference Book
03 April, 2009
I've been teaching Yoga for a few years now after being a student for more than twenty.This book offers a very detailed look at many of the most common yoga asanas including contraindicated physical issues for each one.I had borrowed the book from our local library a dozen times before I purchased it.I find myself reading "Hatha Yoga Illustrated" before class to remind myself of different aspects of each pose.They also give a wide variety of "gentle variations" of each pose.This book is a must have for new yoga teachers.

• Perfect For A Novice
26 December, 2009
I'm very happy to have found this book. It has beautiful photographs with clear instructions for each pose. I am an absolute beginner, so some of the poses are much too difficult, but it has enhanced my practice greatly.
