Simple Yoga Techniques

This book is a pretty good one for beginners. The pictures are excellent and very helpful in trying to do the poses. The instructions for doing each pose are rather clear. Most of the poses include variations and modifications for doing the exercise. Some of the poses suggest using props (blanket, wood blocks, chair) to help you in achieving the pose which is especially good for those of us who are a little less flexible or new to the yoga practice. There are several practice sequences detailed at the end of the book, and the sequences vary in difficulty. One of the best features of this book is that it is spiral bound and has tabbed dividers which make it easy to quickly refer back to a pose or grouping of poses. Any yoga book is no substitute for a good teacher, but this book is a blessing when you want to refresh your memory on a pose or poses you may have learned in class.

This is a great book, very clear explanations, helpful tips and illustrations.
