Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is innovative, creative, beautifully illustrated and crafted. There are sequences for beginners and for more advanced practitioners, sets of warm-ups and various "flows" with clever and appropriate names, complete with recommendations for breathing practices.
Flowing yoga sequences are printed on fold-out pages which is interesting, but you still need to weight the book open if you're going to refer to it while you practice. Paging through the book is a bit tricky because of the double thickness. The frustration of this book is a side-effect of its uniqueness, the sequences are placed on the page in a "figure eight" layout and this is difficult to follow. The well worded, descriptive instructions are sometimes hard to find as a result of the fold-out pages, (they are not given with the corresponding poses) and some transitions which one needs to go from pose to pose are in the back of the book (flipping back and forth required). If you're willing to take the time to study the book and learn the sequences, you'll get plenty from this book. I'm considering clipping the pages from mine and reorganizing them so I can follow the poses without standing on my head...

In this unique and refreshing approach to yoga, breath, awareness, and movement are combined to radically transform the practice. Individual poses are seamlessly linked within specially-created sequences that generate relaxation, inner calm, and mental focus.Classic hatha yoga poses were carefully chosen to connect in sequences of 13 to 20 poses to create a dynamic and fluid practice.
