Yoga: The Top 100 Best Yoga Poses: Relieve Stress, Increase Flexibility, and Gain Strength (Yoga Postures Poses Exercises Techniques and Guide for Healing Stretching Strengthening and Stress Relief) Paperback – May 23, 2017

What a wonderful book about Yoga. The illustrations are clear and I feel like I can master the poses in time.

The poses are explained, in detail, including the benefits as well as what to consider before doing each pose. Fantastic resource.

I liked how the author provided detailed information on how to correctly perform each Yoga pose.Also, the author gave good information on the benefits and risks involved in performing each pose.

I've been meaning to try yoga for years now, and this book really motivated me and helped me realize it's not as hard or complicated as I thought. The thing that Susan Hollister makes clear right off the bat is that yoga is for everyone and that you don't need to spend a bunch of money on extra things to do it. I was really surprised by the amount of ailments and issues that yoga can take care of, the whole second chapter is dedicated to describing all the benefits of doing yoga. I was particularly happy to see that it helps heal chronic migraines, which I suffer from, as well as asthma, it's also a mood enhancer and can even boost your sex drive! Another fear I had about starting yoga has always been the amount of time I have to dedicate to it, but Susan explains that it's a very lax exercise that you can do as much or as little as you'd like, but 2-3 days is her recommendation. The book is filled with very detailed descriptions of the poses, and how you should ease into them, hold them and breath during them. In the end, Susan includes sample routines she has made for different levels, purposes and times of the day. All in all this book is extremely thorough and has answered all the questions I had about yoga, I'm definitely going to start doing some poses before bed!

What can I add to what has already been said? This book is absolutely a great source of information. Whether you’re a beginner or someone that already practices yoga it provides information that you might not already have. I will emphasize that the spiral bound version is fabulous. Worth a couple extra dollars. It’s so convenient to lay the book in front of you on the floor and be able to do the poses without having to sacrifice a hand to keep the book open. A bonus that I wasn’t aware of until I got the book was that at the end of the book it gives you some Yoga flows that you can follow to work into your daily routines. I highly recommend the purchase of this book.

Information is on separate pages from pictures of poses, hard to hold a pose and flip a page. Some poses don't have pictures, I expected nicer from the cover. Disappointed. Spend a little more and get nicer and more functional.

Perfect and great for beginners

If you are tired, sore, and stressed out, you might want to give yoga a try. When I read this book I learned the many benefits to doing yoga: improves brain function, protects you against heart disease, protects your joints and cartilage from wear and tear, improve your immunity, and reduce stress. I liked that yoga can be done in many places, including your home, and that you don’t need a lot to do yoga (a yoga mat, a towel, etc.). The only thing I knew prior to reading this book is the downward dog pose. This book provides great instructions on how to do warm up exercises, pictures of each exercise/pose, and breaking the yoga poses to different parts of the body (i.e. big toe, hand to big toe, arms and shoulders, back, hips, ear to shoulder, hands, and the whole body. If you are new to yoga or just wanting to learn more yoga poses.
