It's my Bible. I refer to this book again and again for perfect alignment instructions simply and clearly given. Covers a good section of Pranayama, the 8 Limbs of Yoga, and a week by week practice to bring you up to speed! If you have had exposure to Iyengar style classes with their emphasis on

precision & alignment, and are interested in developing a home practice, this may be the book for you.

I absolutely love this volume of yoga postures and descriptions. Instructions are clear, easy to follow and work at and for all levels of yoga practice.

Well presented photos and understandable text. Way more asanas than one person could do, and programs that would take hours out of each day. But the explanations were valuable for the poses I choose to do.
