Yoga's many poses and exercises make it endlessly interesting and emotionally rich, giving you a wealth of options for designing a practice that fits your needs.

Good talk but limited
While I really enjoyed the history of yoga. As well as how it looked at yoga's impact on different medical conditions. The practical sections where completely impossible to follow. From the wording to the impossibly quick transitions. This was disappointing.
It's worth noting though that I was listening to the audio version of these talks. So the routines maybe easier to follow on video.
Some of the bizarre instruments included "Telescope the ribs" I mean how? Just how? And another favorite "Sit in embryo". I mean what?
Maybe these terms mean more to more experienced yoga practitioners. But they are pretty incomprehensible to me.

Should have been a video
It’s very practical and as I am familiar with yoga I can follow some descriptions but some baffled me. On the plus side it’s description of yin yoga made me want to try it and so I have. And love it.

Really good book could of been excellent
But if only the stances and, body diagrams covered the work routines. Were as well as the audio descriptions was. Their are very little diagrams of body positions in the accompanying PDF file. If only after each chapter their were diagrams of the named positions in the Audio book this would a great Book.

I learned a lot
Great book for beginners like me. Some things were described in more details than during yoga classes. Ideally this book should be complemented by yoga classes though, to really see what the postures should look like and to get corrected.
