Basic Yoga for Improving Flexibility

Basic Yoga for Improving Flexibility by Aventuras De Viaje
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have no connection to Aventuras De Viaje.

A very good reference book to yoga poses. Good instruction and helpful diagrams on how to carry out the poses. I did question the idea of having the poses in alphabetical order. As certain poses start from other poses that are later on in the alphabet. O realises the ideas of using this book as a reference on how to carry out the different poses was the reason for this as it makes the pose easy to find and the book is short enough that it is easy to flick through to the pose you want. Though you do have to know the name of the poses to do this. So as a recommendation I would say read the book all the way through before starting any out the poses. For intermediate to advanced practitioners you will see many of the poses you know it maybe a couple of new ones.

The only thing I did not find in this book was that, at the beginning of every pose there is a warning of not doing the pose if you have certain injuries, but it does not tell you that poses to do to target certain body parts. There is a small section at the end of the book describing sequences of exercises/poses to do together. A very great reference book for beginners, and refresher or fresh look for people getting back into Yoga.
