Book Reviews of The Yoga Bible
Book Review: Tons of poses!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this hoping to create my own workout...but...I would have to keep flipping to the page to remember. Anyway that's beside the point that this book is amazing.Book Review: Yoga Bible
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great at any level and it lets you know that you just need to try these moves but don't have to do them exactly how they are shown. Everyone will do what they can the idea is to just start doing them.It is well put together and the photography is also well done. The descriptions make it so you will get out of it what you should.Book Review: Yoga Bible helpful to this beginner.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently decided to make yoga my only workout. I do not have time to lift and do yoga and was tired of pulling muscles. I have learned from other yoga books that it is possible to get a great workout and even increase strength, using yoga. I really like being able to do a workout every day as well.
I have yoga books with different routines and one of Rodney Yee's books was helpful with prop suggestions. I am incredibly tight in my lower body and until I started doing yoga didn't realize in my upper body as well.
I find the build-up postures in yoga bible to be very helpful and encouraging. You don't need props!
I never thought I would be able to do any balancing pose, because I do not have full control over the left side of my body due to a serious car accident in high school. (Don't toke and drive, kids!)
I tried doing balancing postures leaning against a wall, but still could not maintain balance on my left leg with my right leg curled against my left thigh. When I read the suggestions in yoga bible to put the ball of the foot or the toes of the non-supporting foot on the floor instead of lifting that leg completely off the ground, I tried it and was actually able to stay in a balancing posture for about 30 seconds. It might not seem like much of an accomplishment, but it was for me.
I was getting much benefit from doing the poses I could do without doing the balancing postures, but I would never have tried the balancing postures unless I read the easy, common-sense suggestions in yoga bible because I'm much too much of a dumba$$ to figure things like that out.
Finally, the reviews which complain about the sturdiness of the book and binding may have led to change because the binding on my book seems sturdy.
Book Review: a good resource
