We all can benefit from yoga and Sharon does an excellent job at making yoga accessible for everyone.  She is meticulous at breaking down the most common yoga poses.  For people new to yoga, going to a yoga class can be quite intimidating.  Everyone else seems to know and do the poses perfectly.  It's wonderful to have a book like this to help you learn the poses.  As Sharon stated in her introduction, this book isn't intended as a substitute for getting live instruction, but the book can serve as a guide to the poses.  To be on the safe side, I think that anyone totally new to yoga  should go to a live yoga class, watch yoga demonstrations on YouTube or do a yoga DVD before attempting to do the poses in this book.  This book can be a great supplement.Why I enjoyed this book:**The clear explanation of the poses.  A picture, as well as a detailed step by step description of each pose is provided.**The benefits of each pose are listed.  I knew yoga is good for me, but I didn't completely understand why.  Sharon's explanation of the benefits helped me not only to understand the poses, but to go deeper into them since I knew exactly where I should be feeling the pose.**The safety measures.  For each pose, Sharon explains who should not be doing this pose.I will use this book as a refresher for my yoga practice.  I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn (and do!) more yoga!
