Synopsis

A unique split-page format helps yoga lovers easily personalize their routines—and keep their home practice varied, fun, and highly individual.

With the help of this unique and innovative manual, yoga practitioners can work to their optimum level and tailor their exercise to fit their individual needs. The secret lies in the split-page design that features 40 poses, or asanas, on one side and 30 practice routines on the other. Every yogi will be able to construct an ideal session, whether the desire is for a quick 10-minute routine to destress or a full 45-minute workout that strengthens back muscles. Color photos capture the intricacies of each movement; notes on details and variations accompany each pose; and there are observations, advice, and frequently asked questions for particular positions. Beginners will especially appreciate the valuable information on creating a pleasant practice environment, using the book in conjunction with other yoga instructions, and finding and working with props.
Cindy Dollar lives in Asheville, NC. Susanna MacKenzie Euston lives in Arden, NC.

About this title

Reviews

For yoga fans who’d like to test their prowess at home but are feeling unsure of where to begin and how to proceed, Dollar and Euston offer a handily designed guide to the whole process. Beginning with instructions on how to set up a yoga space at home—all you really need is a quiet spot with a hard floor—their book provides 31 possible routines (a.k.a., practices) that range from 10 minutes to 45 minutes each. The spiral bound book is designed with a split in the middle, so that readers can keep the practice list on one side while flipping through the pose instructions on the other. There are plenty of photos and clear advice to be found here. Novices are sure to find the book’s indices (by time, theme and body area) helpful, but advanced home yoga practitioners probably won’t need any help figuring out that a good restoring practice always ends in corpse pose.
