Excellent book for beginners (qualifier: better to have taken a certain number of classes first). Focuses on a smaller number of postures than the encyclopedic _Light on Yoga_, but has a number of motivational tips and insights. Perhaps there could be more illustrations/alternatives for students who can't fully accomplish the postures, but that would greatly increase the size of the book.

This is the book I used when I first started doing yoga in my little house when I served in the Peace Corps. Although nothing replaces having an actual teacher guide you, this book does a good job with providing an overview of the practice and great pictures of poses. It also gives suggestions for practice themes in the back.

Fabulous beginner descriptions of poses in big glossy pictures. This is a fantastic entry into the basics and details of poses. It has breakdowns of what is happening in an easy-to-understand way as well as modifications which can come in very useful. A must-have reference guide for yoga teachers and students alike.

Has to be my favorite yoga books, besides "Light on Yoga." Basic to slightly intermediate. Good pictures, detailed just enough. If you are looking for something more basic try her other book, "How to Use Yoga" and the more intermediate, "Light on Yoga."

My sister owned a copy of this book long before I did. I used to borrow her copy to practice the poses in the book. I recommend this book for anyone with an interest in yoga. The pictures are fantastic!a
