Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!], Wednesday 29 November, 2006 Reviewer: Julie Deans, London from ,
A book to read and re-read for many, many years... an amazingly concise and complete resourse for the yoga practitioner - this is an excellent textbook featuring over 400 practices.
The description of each practice are presented in a methodical and specific manner. Each technique comes with set by step directions on the practice; breathing awareness during the practice, benefits, contraindications, variations and so on.
The illustrations are line drawn rather than photographs. This is an advantage as it stops the reader from overidentifying with the photo and becoming too dispirited by comparisons to glossy photos.
If there is a drawback to the book it is that it can be a little overwhelming, there is a lot of information here! Fortunately it is well ordered and well presented.
Another point is that it does not try to replace role of a competent teacher. It\'s a textbook of practices rather than a specific course of instruction.
But this doesn\'t detract from the book at all, merely indicates the level that the book is aimed at.
If you are looking for a distillation of authentic yoga knowledge, this really is a book to have by your side.
