Book Reviews of Holy Yoga: Exercise. for the Christian Body and Soul
Book Review: A good yoga book
Summary: 3 Stars
I was unsure about this book when I first read the title and reviewing it has been interesting.
I would have to say that I am separating my review in two. The Christian part and the Yoga part.
To be honest, I am unsure why the author felt the need to write a "christian" yoga book. In my opinion, yoga is about spirituality and looking into yourself and outwards to the great universe. Yoga has been practiced for many, many years and is said to be wonderful for the "self". So, I am a little unclear why there needs to be a distinction between a regular yoga book and a "holy yoga" book.
From the point of view of this book being about yoga, I thought the book was well done. There are nice descriptions of the poses and some graphics showing us the particular positions (although these are a tad small).
Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of "talking" in the beginning of the book - relating to the association of doing holy yoga - which I found a tad preachy and not particularly necessary.
If you believe that yoga must be associated with religion then I suggest this book is great for you, if you are like me and you believe that yoga is about our inner self - then you may want to consider many of the other yoga books available on the market right now - that are aimed more towards yoga poses and the joy of doing yoga for the self.
