Yoga: Your Home Practice Companion: A Complete Practice and Lifestyle Guide:

First found this in my local library and knew I'd found a keeper. Ordered from Amazon and have consistently used this book for the 3 months that I've owned it. Clear instructions, variations for different skill levels and easy to follow photos on 120+ pages of asanas, alone. Great introductory section on the true yogic science (including the 4 paths, 8 limbs and other principals) BUT one complaint - pose descriptions lack Sanskrit terms. For one attempting to delve deeper into yoga, this can be an annoyance. If, however, you are learning from scratch and find the Sanskrit terminology not all that important, I'd say that this is about as good as it gets.

I love this book and all books from DK! They are always clearly written with detailed pictures and captions. One thing about this book I've found that I especially love is it gives common position errors and explains how to avoid them and any potential injuries. It also gives multiple levels for beginner, intermediate & advance. It is so detailed even down to proper hand positioning. This book is the first and possibly only book you'll ever need on yoga!

I am completely in love with this book. Yoga, Your Home Practice Companion is an absolutely all inclusive book that takes a user friendly approach to all things yoga.From the wonderful color pictures clearly detailing the inside of our bodies - specifically our muscles and ligaments to "how to" pictures explaining the various yoga poses that are recommended for us, this book covers every high point of any yoga practice.However, what really sold this book to me is the last part of the book - the section on how to eat better. There are quite a few easy to do recipes that are easy and require minimal foods - low fat, no sugar and affordable products. I have tried almost all of the recipes and I would say that at least 80% were excellent and extremely easy to do.This book really covers off everything you can asociated with yoga and I loved, loved, loved it.

Purchased this book for my wife. Excellent book for someone starting out with yoga. Very good, high-quality illustrations demonstrate the correct positions. She wanted the hard cover version so it would lay flat on the floor when open. She is happy with the purchase.

I'm new to yoga, but this book is great! I love how it explains everything.

The Sivananda Yoga Organization is THE largest Yoga group on this Planet. The Book is excellent, beautifully illustrated and I viewed it first at the Yoga Studio I teach Yoga at, loved it and looked for it on Amazon.com. Good job Amazon

This classic yoga text is so wonderfully illustrated and written that it makes home practice of Sivananda yoga very easy and productive. Highly recommend!!

.A must have if you are seriously into yoga for the first time student.

Good balance of illustrations and descriptions plus the bonus of healthy recipies

This is an extraordinary book explaining not only the details step by step process but also makes you understand the mechanism & dynamics of our Body functioning in a simple way with illustrated pictures & clarity of every minute effect of Yogic exercises synchronising body & mind to achieve happy, healthy & beautiful life !

Cet ouvrage met l'accent sur les postures de yoga tout en abordant les 5 points du yoga Sivananda. Pratique et pédagogique, il donne de nombreuses informations très précises, rigoureuses et de grande qualité.On retrouve ici les enseignements dispensés dans les cours en ligne "le feu du yoga".

Muy completo, bien estructurado y con apoyo en imágenes.

Excelente.
