Good book
Very informative
Joseph J. Truncale –
A beautiful and fantastic fully illustrated book for anyone interested in Yoga.
I have been into the martial arts and physical fitness all my life. I have recently included yoga postures into my regular workout routine. Whenever I get into any fitness program I read as much as possible about the subject. In the case of yoga, I have read numerous books and articles lately and I must say this fantastic book (The Yoga Bible: The definitive guide to yoga postures by Christina Brown) is the best book I have ever read on yoga. This incredible volume has over 170 yoga positions and they all are in full color showing the postures.This wonderful 400 page book is organized into four parts. Part one provides a detailed introduction of what yoga is and the various kinds being practiced. The second part is the longest section and covers the actual practice of the yoga movements. It explains preliminary practices, standing postures, seated and floor postures, twists and abdominal toners, arm balances, backbends, inversions, relaxation, pranayama, internal energy locks and yogic cleansing practices. The third part is important because it focuses on the use of yoga exercises for various medical and physical conditions. The final part is about finding your yoga and determining what you are seeking from the practice. This section also explains the ânine branches of the tree of yoga.âWhat really makes this excellent book unique is that it shows such a wide variety of yoga asanas (Postures). At my advanced age and skill level I could never do many of these yoga postures; however, there are enough simple and beginner yoga postures to practice in this volume. This short review cannot do this book justice, and if you are seeking a clear color reference book on the many yoga asanas (Postures) this book is for you. At this time this is my favorite yoga book.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective combative systems).

just fantastic
I will mirror close to everyone else who has reviewed this product in saying that if it was spiral-bound it would go from being a great book to a near-perfect book. But the occasionally difficult-to-manage perfect binding is not a major deficit to a very well conceived and organized book. Not only are the asanas arranged according to general bodily position (sitting, standing, etc), but they also are arranged in a sequence that flow, so the following is one that would realistically be something that would follow the preceding. So you can intuitively hash out where the position you want is without having to return again and again to the index. At least that’s my experience.Each asana is also labeled with lead ins, variations, and other helpful information, and many of the more complex ones have the sequence to enter it. Every single thing in the book is accompanied by good, full color, unambiguous photographs to compare against. If I lost it I would buy another copy. I think that’s about the best praise I can give a book like this.

Lot of good stuff in here though I wish the book was larger
This book has a lot of poses in it and is a great place for anyone to start I just wish it started from basics then went to more advanced and I wish the book was a bit larger size wise. Itâs probably about 5-6â in diameter so itâs hard to hold it open and reference the pose because thereâs so many pages the book wants to close and you lose your page.

Marked with which poses are for beginners
Lists beginner poses and ways to gradually get into positions if your body isn’t flexible enough in the beginning. Spiral binding holds book flat for reference during poses.

Lacking the info you’d want in a book that claims to be “THE definitive guide”…
As everyone has made abundantly clear, the book is WAY too small and the print is microscopic. There are a number of other defects.While it claims to be a pose bible, it isn’t. The very first pose I looked up–anjaneyasana (low lunge), which is mentioned in other books (I wanted to know how to pronounce the Sanskrit name)–wasn’t in the book. Not only that, there is no pronunciation guide for the Sanskrit words. Also, you can’t find the poses listed in the index under their Sanskrit names, so you have to find them by the names the author has assigned them.Uddyana bandha isn’t mentioned by name (see photo) on the page discussing bandhas. It’s actually described separately on the previous overleaf, but isn’t listed on the bandha page. If you were looking for a description of the bandhas in order, you would probably miss the abdominal lock. (Also, you can’t find uddyana bandha listed in the index.)What I like about this book is that it includes a lot of information about yoga that you don’t find in most beginner, or low-depth, books. It’s not exactly pose info, more like practices, but it’s interesting stuff I haven’t seen elsewhere in print. And it’s pretty cool seeing photos of people who can go full out into the poses. (I THOUGHT I was flexible. Seems I was wrong.)Can’t recommend the book though. The tiny print is the deal breaker.

Phenomenal resource for my future RYT-200 training!
To the reviewer who posted the tip about adding on spiral binding, you are my favorite person in the world right now! I went straight to FedEx Office as soon as my book arrived.I canât belive how much useful information is packed into this pocket-sized book. Everything you want to learn about Yoga postures, finding your spiritual balance in life and learning Sanskrit terms can be found in this definitive little resource. Iâm planning on starting my Yoga teacher training next year but didnât want to go in blind, so to speak. This book is invaluable. Beautiful photos to use for reference along with detailed instructions on how to execute the moves. I see why there are so many positive reviews about his Yoga Bible.Absolutely phenomenal! 5 enthusiastic stars. Namaste.

I was pondering whether to buy this, then I noticed a “used” book was being sold, and it was VERY cheap. I didn’t care much if the book was a little worn and torn.However, much to my suprise. It’s really new!!!Not only that, but I was expecting it to be delivered at a later date but it came SOONER than the date mentioned on the webpage…TRIPLE BONUS!!!I’m so thrilled!!!I just know I’m going to love this book.I looked at the index at the back. There is also a bonus chapter at the back about uogs for healing such as anxiety. Arthritis… constipation, and even depression……giving a short paragraph about how yoga can help, plus it gives recommended poses for just that.
