One of the difficulties of finding a good yoga book is that there are so many levels at which yoga can be practiced - how do you get one at exactly your level? Plus, you will find some poses easier than others, and be at different levels on different types of poss. And, besides, if a book's good enough to get you to practice a position the right way, then you quickly improve to the point that you need something more. The appeal of this book is that it spans several levels. It explains things thoroughly, and starts with positions that are simple enough for beginners. But it also gives several more advanced variations on each position. This lets you take each position according to your present ability, and gives you somewhere to go as you show more progress in your yoga practice.

The book also includes guidleines on meditation, relaxation, breathing, vegetarianism and the yogic diet.

The primary model looks like Audrey Hepburn, but only superficially in features and fringe. The lack of expression in her eyes -- opposite Audrey -- scared me, especially compounded by what the HELL is she doing to her abdomen?
Très bon livre de yoga, les postures y sont parfaitement expliquées. Par contre, il faut avoir un bon niveau si on veut vraiment profiter de ce livre (ce qui n'est pas tout à fait mon cas...)
