Book Reviews of Journey Into Power : How to Sculpt Your Ideal Body, Free your True Self and Transform your Life with Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga
Book Review: "Baptiste" Power Yoga
Summary: 2 Stars
The name of his brand of Ashtanga Yoga says it all, despite his denials - the man's a raving ego-maniac. The actual yoga is OK, but his rationalizations about "finding your own way" the way he did, to arrive at what he "modestly" says "others may call enlightenment" is just skin-deep, self-indulgent self-infatuation. He doesn't even acknowledge the sources of his teachings; it's as though he invented yoga de novo. My advice is to skip it and go to a book that at least pays tribute to the 1500 or more year-old yoga traditions, and to the rediscover of Ashtanga Vinyasa, Krishnamacharya, his students, Desikachar and Iyengar, and those who brought it to the West -- Van Lysbeth, Norman Allen, and David Williams. A really good one is "Ashtanga Yoga: The Practice Manual: An Illustrated Guide to Personal Practice" by David Swenson.
