review 1: A very illustrative and colourful book but with too few step by step visual instructions for beginners and intermediates. Might be dangerous if they attempt some of the more advanced poses without visual guides. Nevertheless, the book have some interesting information in which I think yoga lovers should check out. Just don't think it is a worthy new buy. If possible, lend it from your local library or buy it secondhand.
review 2: I am an intermediate yoga practitioner - I often do it in my home and rarely join a formal class setting. As a result, I was looking forward to this book because I thought that it might allow me to get some great routines and new ideas for my practice.I loved the images - the colors are bright, and the poses are clear. The book is brok... moreen down in sections with the first going through various poses, and the second one arranged according to what you are looking to get out of your practice (i.e. relaxation, back pain, PMS, etc.). I appreciate the various routines, but found that it lacked transitions - there isn't a clear guide how to go from pose to pose and that is a big part of what makes yoga so effective. I liked the variety of poses, but found that adding additional details about the transitions and in-between steps would have helped.I also found it strange that Women's Health had a man doing some of the yoga routines - it didn't seem like the right setting. I understand that men do yoga, but since this is a Women's Health book, it was a bit odd and unnecessary. From shelfishness.blog.com less
