Love this book!As a new Yoga teacher, I am so grateful for this book. It has helped me continue my education and deepen my understanding about adjusting and assisting students. It is full of excellent advise and alignment cuing. The photographs and descriptions make everything crystal clear. This author seems to be able to anticipate all questions and information that teachers and students alike have been wanting to ask. This book is a must have for anyone building a Yoga library. I have learned so much about adjusting and assisting from this book, more than in my teacher training.
Not worth the moneyThere are so many good books on yoga postures and alignment - but this is not one of them. The adjustments are way too dramatic and could do more harm than good. Advice for more gentle adjustments is not given nor is advice about getting into and out of the pose. Definitely not worth it!!!!!!!!!
A dangerous bookThis is not yoga and is definitely a dangerous book. Yoga is about respecting the limitations of the body and not succumbing to the egoistic concept of perfecting a pose. The difference between yoga asana and exercise is AWARENESS. This awareness is cultivated from within and not from someone pulling or pushing you into a pose. I know that many teachers are out there doing these sorts of adjustments and that students may request them, but this is not classical yoga and may account for the alarming increase in the rate of yoga practitioners being injured.
awesomeThis is a very informatitve book. It gave wonderful advice and good pictures. I have really enjoyed this book and will continue to learn from it.
Exceptionally usefulVery easy to read & well organized. Clear text and excellent photo illustrations. Many good tips for yogasana teachers of all experience levels.
