photos of poses are often incorrectI wanted a book to show the IDEAL pose, so I'd know what to work toward. Here, many of the photos of the poses are actually incorrect when compared to the dialogue of Bikram. AS stated in an earlier review, these are yoga students, not champions, but I'd like to see, as do you I'm sure, what the pose looks like when executed with precision and expertise. Most beginners would not even realize what was incorrect about the photos (hence, all the good reviews), but after years of Bikrams dialogue drummed into my head, I am quite surprised that she even published these photos. If you are looking for a book to help you with an activity you can do at home, alone, in your own time, please know that it would NEVER substitute for a regular practice in a studio. Plus,I have no idea how one would learn yoga from a book. Save your $, and use it on a class instead :)
AverageThis is a good basic resource for beginners. It focuses on technique without the additional stories and side chatter found in "Bikram's Beginning Yoga" book.
Aligns with my classMy Core Power Yoga classes are structured exactly as this book. The asana descriptions are brief and informative. The pictures are helpful. A good book if you need help with your practice or to keep yourself motivated.
Hot Yoga TowelService was good. Towel is not as stable on the mat as I would like.
Get another bookWhat a disapointment ! Nice photos but overall not precise, vague. The text does not explain in details how to do a posture or its benefits.
I wasted my money, go for another book!
Product DescriptionYoga is many centuries old, but hot yoga, developed only in the 1960s, has already proven a beneficial and popular variation on the ancient art. Hot yoga-also known as Bikram, after its originator, Bikram Choudhury-is a method for working out in rooms heated up to 100 degrees, thus enhancing muscle suppleness and aiding body detoxifica-tion. This heavily illustrated book describes each of the 26 progressively more challeng-ing hot yoga postures. Aided by color photos, the author gives detailed instruction on all hot yoga poses, which she claims unite mind, body, and spirit when performed in rigor-ous but enjoyable workouts. Each pose is preceded by information on its specific bene-fits. Practitioners are advised to end each session with cool-down techniques that relax both mind and body. The book concludes with recommendations for hot yoga as treat-ment for complaints such as back pain, sports injuries, and stress. Hot yoga helps its practitioners explore their limits and enhance their physical and mental well-being. Ap-proximately 50 color photos and more than 100 line drawings.
