Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I’ve found an incredible tool here–one that gives hope to a middle-aged, out of shape person that there are real alternatives to western medicine. The scope is encyclopedic but not daunting. The individuals who demonstrate the exercises and poses did not step off a fashion runway; there are real people of all sizes. And unlike the recent article about yoga in Vanity Fair, McCall clearly recognizes that African-Americans practice yoga too. Perhaps if more people read Dr. McCall’s book, the failing health system Michael Moore documents in his most recent film would at least be failing a smaller number of people. Thank you, Dr. McCall, for what will be an invaluable resource.
The Yoga Bible
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I wish there were more than five stars because this book deserves it. I am a new Yoga instructor and this book has concise, clear, and complete information. My copy has so many sticky notes to mark references that it looks like a paper porcupine ready to explode!
If I had to recommend one Yoga book no matter what the person’s level of experience, this would be it. There are suggestions for lightening the poses or for making them more difficult. There are poses listed that will help you accomplish the more difficult poses. There are suggestions for deepening your all around Yoga practice and incorporating the discipline into your life. I haven’t touched my other Yoga books since this one arrived!

Yoga for Life: A Journey to Inner Peace and Freedom
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a “must read.” I was unable to put it down and finished it in one day. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me reassess and think. I will refer to this book over and over, as I practice my poses and as I practice at this thing called life. It turns out that we are all ‘”enough,” and can make a difference in each other’s lives by being present for them and in our service work that meets the needs of those who may need our touch, both physically and spiritually. Reading this book has changed my life. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
Yoga For Beginners: Your Guide to Master Yoga Poses while calming your mind, be stress free, and boost your self-esteem!
By Alli
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Wether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, this book would be a great addition to your library. It’s extremely in-depth and provides a lot of knowledge about yoga. I thought at first it was just an educational book but finally got to the pictures. The photographs show how to do each pose, and they explain how to breathe and how long to breathe and hold each pose. They go through a lot of poses, and is easy to read. At the end there is even a section on the yogi diet. Apparently you are not supposed to eat any meat, chicken,fish anything. They suggest lots of grains and vegetables. Good reference book you can go back through again and again. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in yoga. Good for beginners and experienced ones. Highly recommend it. Can do every day.

I think a “must” for the yoga enthusiast or instructor!! Clear wording, detailed illustrations and description of poses. Able to go into poses more effectively, knowing which muscle groups and joint movements are responsible. Love the little extras, like showing proper pronunciation of the Sanskrit words, proper breathing in the poses and more. Top that with an excellent price!
2,100 Asanas: The Complete Yoga Poses
By Eze Marquez
Format: Hardcover
Im not sure there is more you can ask for from a single book. What initially caught my eye was the sheer number of poses. 2100 poses in a single book? To be honest having read other yoga books I didn’t even know there was anything near 2100 yoga poses. Most other books stop at like 100-200. So I started flipping through the book. The pictures are clear, of high quality and extremely well organized. But this isn’t just a photo book. Each picture has is described, has its name in Sanskrit and English and the part I like, it tells me which muscle groups are targeted. I might sound simple but if you do the poses, or at least attempt to, now I can get an idea if im doing it right. So that’s when I decided I had to buy the book. There is a section detailing the limbs of yoga. A section that helps you with training to get into the more difficult poses. And this is what has jumped out to me in day 1, I can’t wait to keep exploring the book and using it to help me grow my yoga practice.

Yoga Sequencing: Designing Transformative Yoga Classes
By AnneT
Format: Paperback
Mark Stephens has written another amazing yoga book! I think it is an essential read for teachers, but full of information for all, this book is a thorough, practical guide to how to navigate through the intricacies of sequencing safe and transformative yoga practices for the many needs of today’s practitioners, from advanced yogis to those with special needs or new to yoga. This book is filled with information and photos. Numerous sequences are included, but in addition, the author teaches us how to create our own sequences, with a solid understanding of why we might pick one pose, then another, making this book an invaluable resource and one I expect to return to again and again. Well done!
