Book Reviews of 40 Days to Personal Revolution: A Breakthrough Program to Radically Change Your Body and Awaken the Sacred Within Your Soul
Book Review: Good guy, Bad book
Summary: 2 Stars
My main beef with this book is how quickly it goes... For example, in the first week you perform Paschimottanasana (seated forward bend), which is crazy! In Iyengar's Light on Yoga, this is not presented until week 14; the reason is that it requires A LOT of preparation, or else (and I write this from experience) you can really mess up your lower back if you do it improperly. Secondly, all the pranayama is done while doing the asanas instead of separately; I'm sure Patanjali is rolling in his urn. Thirdly, it mentions (forgive me if I'm wrong, I've shelved this book a long time ago) nothing of the Yamas and Niyamas, which is a prerequisite for asanas. And last but not least, the meditation portion of this book is just all wrong, and I'll leave it at that... Leave this book, go with Iyengar's Light on Yoga. It's more difficult and moves at a snail's pace, but it's as authentic as you can get without a guru.
I hated the book but I put two stars... If you go to Baron Baptiste's website, and email one of his employees a quesion, they answer it, gratis. Don't get me wrong, from what I've seen, Baptiste seems a little money hungry, but the world is not yet perfect. Namaste.
