Analysis:
- Also released under the title “Astanga Yoga For You”
- Not written by an Ashtanga expert. She has mentioned this fact in the introduction.
- Beautiful, vibrant, colored photos of asanas in the primary series with modifications.
- Explanation of asanas are adequate to get a feel for Ashtanga yoga.
- Includes a historical look at yoga and Ashtanga yoga.
- Includes biographies of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Professor Krishnamacharya.
- Includes basic principles of Ashtanga yoga.
- It’s a beautifully presented, quite comprehensive introduction to Ashtanga.
- Not an Ashtanga yoga manual, i.e. book to learn Ashtanga yoga from.
- Would make a nice present for someone interested in Ashtanga.
