Book Review: Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness
Summary: 5 Stars
Eric Schiffman has a way with words - Reading this book helps you to understand his passion for yoga and opens you to the emotional and spiritual deepth that yoga provides. I highly suggest it!Book Review: Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book on the advice of my yoga instructor, it is a great book, with poses shown in exacting detail. The first half is about how to get to that "yoga place."Book Review: You Don't Have to Be a Yogi to Enjoy this Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is required in the yoga teacher training that I am taking but could be assimilated and enjoyed by a person who has never done yoga. Eric talks about mindful living and using energy to improve your life which is fascinating. His prose is fluid and very calming. He also tells an interesting life story in the beginning. I also like his organic style of yoga whereby the emphasis is on the process and not the perfect pose.Book Review: a must for any person doing Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has changed the way i do Yogaexplanations are clear,
it goes deeply into the process of yoga which is not only postures (Asanas) or breathing techniques (pranayama), but a combination of the two in order to associate mind and body as you associate deeply your breathing with the movement within the process of the postures.
just perfect, i wish a chapter on sexuality would have been added as we know, breathing has much importance into the sexual act. i suggest also easy books from Van lisebeeth, and 2 masterpieces from iyengar for advanced students.
Book Review: good but not the best
Summary: 3 Stars
The first few chapters seemed like the usual mumbo jumbo. He went to India and saw a guru and learned some important "values". The second section where he describes about breathing and asanas is the most useful along with his description of how to do the poses. I think he is also over-elaborate in doing the poses.
