Sharon Whisler has created a great introduction to Yoga with this book. As a complete novice I had no idea of what to expect, but found the quick introduction to the history & principle's of Yoga a good lead into what was next.Nicely laid out into 20 chapters, with each chapter a unique Yoga pose or position, complete with detailed technique instructions, pictures, any safety watch outs, then on to the benefits, including what part of the body the pose "works on", and even how many calories per hour you'll lose practising this pose.Perhaps the best testimonial came from my daughter in law, a Yoga lover for years. Her comments were "this book ticks all the boxes" and " you'll lose way more weight & look better with these poses than you ever would with walking" - my current activity.At 50 pages it's easy to devour in one session, but simple to refer back to each chapter when actually putting into practice.
