I think this is a good yoga reference book. I appreciated the photos of each yoga pose with its common name as well as ideas for variations should you be unable or not wanting to do the regular pose. I did find it a bit wordy with each section under the pose and what it is as well as the Origin of Yoga and the Let's Get Started section. I enjoyed the variety of poses shown and the photos that show the actual pose as well as photos showing the variations you can do as well. I like at the end of the book how it has the list of poses and photos all in a row so if you wanted to create your own sequence or even just do some of the poses individually for stretching, its easy to do right from the photo rather than reading through each page again. I recommend this book for yoga newbies or those who enjoy very detailed descriptions of different yoga poses. It is also helpful for those wanting to do just one pose a day as the book indicates with 30 days of Yoga.

Thank you to the publisher for an advance copy of the book via netgalley!

As someone who practices yoga, I have seen lots of books on yoga and its poses. I have to say this book is refreshing on so many levels! First, finally the poses are demonstrated by individuals with DIVERSE body weights and types! So so happy to see that! Also happy to see that this book explains each pose in different strengths levels (from if you are able to undertake the pose to if you need assistance from a block to a chair). Yoga is so inclusive and yet has such a bad stereotype associated to it that only skinny athletic beyond belief people can practice it...everyone can practice it and this book clearly encourages it! Highly recommended for anyone even just curious about yoga!

I’ve wanted to start a yoga practice for some time, so I eagerly grabbed this new guide by master yoga teacher Kino MacGregor. What a joy to read!

It’s perfect for beginners of all ages and especially for this aging newbie who loves the idea of slowly building a practice over 30 days. You’ll learn 30 foundational poses through easy-to-understand instructions and 200+ color photos. (Always easier to learn by seeing!) Different ability levels and body types are addressed, so anyone can learn this powerful practice. I found this especially helpful for my aching back.

You also get free access to an online companion course — a treat!

I’ve happily “got my yoga on” now and encourage anyone who wants to start or enhance a yoga practice to read this wonderful guide. 5 Enthusiastic Stars!

Very nice yoga book to try at home. During this quarantine I've been wanting to try yoga at home and I found this book very useful. It teaches you 30 yoga positions with photos so you can make sure you're doing the right thing. It also tells you what each positions is and shows you some variations. This book is pretty easy to follow. Very nice,
