Book Reviews of Yoga Body, Buddha Mind

Book Review: A very enjoyable yoga book covering beginner, intermediate and advances asanas
Summary: 5 Stars

An unusual yoga book that incorporates life on and off the mat. Cyndi Lee begins each chapter with anecdotes from her personal experiences that segue into the focus of the section.

Chapters are divided by pose type - meditating, breath, standing, sun salutes, warriors and standing asanas, balancing, seated poses, backbending/heart opening, inversions and, finally, restorative poses. There is a little bit about chanting OM, and tips for establishing your own practice at the end.

The most useful part of the book for me are the pictured sequences. Models with realistic body types demonstrate the sequences and vinyasas for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Props like bricks, straps and walls are often suggested.

I am looking forward to trying the modifications leading to the more advanced poses, like L-Shaped Handstand and preparations for Crow.

The black and white photos are clear and useful, although a few inset details would be helpful for exact hand/foot placement in many poses.

A recommended resource for advanced beginnners who are excited to attempt intermediate and advanced poses, or at least be inspired to think about them.
