Easy Yoga Workbook: A Complete Yoga Class in a Book
Yoga can reawaken the body to its full potential—and this illustrated introduction creates a complete class for the beginner. Complete with a 60-minute CD that talks students through 22 specially selected postures plus meditations in sequence, this spiral-bound guide is devised for a modern lifestyle and the problems that commonly come along with it, such as backache, neckache, all-around stiffness, tension, and poor concentration. Of course, safety comes first, with side panels explaining the possible contraindications of each pose. The movements range from very easy balances and lunges to standing twists, cobra, and the back-stretching bridge. Each one includes more accessible variations, including advice on props, and an entire chapter covers the mind-breath connection so integral to yoga.

This is a great yoga book that talks about what yoga is and what yoga is used for. It also talks about the benefits of meditation. I agree that yoga can help improve your sleep. I like doing yoga more now and I think yoga is wonderful to do.

Alles wordt heel duidelijk uitgelegd aan de hand van foto's en er worden ook oplossingen getoond voor mensen die nog niet flexibel genoeg zijn om de oefeningen aan te kunnen. Ik ben heel tevreden over dit boek.
