Yoga can be practiced anywhere, but no one wants to lug around a full-sized, soup-to-nuts book. The a book of poses and a few routines to enable one to practice at work, on a business trip, or while vacationing.
• Includes more than 108 illustrated yoga poses for home, office, and travel, with concise explanations for what each pose achieves • In India, 108 is considered a sacred number • Features routines that utilize the poses • ABC News reports that 16.5 million Americans practice yoga—an increase of 43% since 2002 • Medical practitioners are now using yoga as a therapeutic tool to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries
Exactly what it says, and detailed description of each pose, suggestions for changes according to the condition of one's body and a few examples of pose series. Something I might want to start in the future (minus the 'Om' stuff though). So a good, essential book in my opinion.
