Book Reviews of Yoga for Wellness: Healing with the Timeless Teachings of Viniyoga

Book Review: One of the best personal practice aids available.
Summary: 5 Stars

The perfect companion to Desikachar's "Heart of Yoga". Written by a leading techer of Vinniyoga, the book covers all aspects of pesonal practice, with excellent sections on remedial therapy, and composing sets for specific purposes.

The book is divided into two parts, a Developmental Approach and a Therapeutic Approach. Vinniyoga puts the stress on Yoga as a path to personal development, so first the priciples are clearly explained, and then a series of suggestions follow - complete with excellent photographs and even illustrations of errors. The core of the first part deals with the biomechanics of movement, with full anatomical illustrations of each topic so the practitioner is aware of what he or she is doing inside.

The therapy section deals with most of the common problems people tackle in therapy, but what shines through most is the clear-headedness of the approach. It has the 'smell' of wise experience, and dozens of interesting variations and primary exercises. As useful to the experienced practitioner as to the novice.
