Well worth it July 25, 2002
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this book ages ago (well over a year) and it's still in use almost every day - a good 4/5 times a week. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's great for beginners and I had no previous experience, myself, of yoga. The instructions and photos make this book very easy to follow and the chapters at the beginning of the book help get the most out of practicing the postures. I also purchased a video by the author, which is also excellent. I also bought another 2 yoga books, 1 by Iyengar (?) and another by David Swenson - they've hardly been opened. This book's the best.
 Classic Hatha Yoga -- No trendy nonsense February 2, 2001

I really recommend this book. It's not a supposedly new form of yoga -- and the author doesn't come across as just some really flexible ex-dancer/gymnast who takes great pictures touting the latest way to look cool while you whittle your waist...This is an integrated introduction to classical Hatha Yoga -- a combination of practical lessons with just enough historical and spiritual explanation to make you realize that your individual practice can become part of something larger and greater than yourself, if you wish it to. I liked that. As the author says, this is a useful and safe introduction to yoga practice that is more than just trendy "exotic stretching."
Fantastic photographs and clear, no-nonsense explanation April 13, 2000

I have a lot of yoga books and am a regular practitioner, also teaching beginners. I found this book to have the best illustrations of the postures I've seen so far. Not only that, but the book also explains thoroughly and clearly all aspects of Hatha yoga practice. Although I can't 'do' all the positions in their full form (still too stiff!) I found this book invaluable in its explanation of the fundamentals and think it would be perfect for beginners or experienced people as it captures the essence of what the practice is all about. It's revolutionised my efforts and my understanding of what I'm doing and that in turn has had a hugely beneficial effect. Even though I'd studied with a lot of other excellent books this one was the one which finally made it drop into place. The author has a gift for clarity. I can't recommend this highly enough.
I hope I get to do all the postures like he can August 3, 1999

A pretty good book covering many of the basic postures and even some of the more advanced ones. Quite a good book to follow with the pictures, some of the more difficult postures need a little more explanation to really understand them. All in all definitely worth buying

I just purchased this book along with Power Yoga by B. Birch ... As good as Birch's book is, THIS one is better! The pictures are a good size and VERY clear, and the book provides a wonderful set of series at the end to accommodate various levels of competence and also to address those moments when there just isn't quite enough time to get in a complete series. I'm sure you'll love it.
