Yoga for Every Body: A beginner’s guide to the practice of yoga postures, breathing exercises and meditation

I found this book a terrific read. It started with the author's personal story of how she began her yoga journey then progressed to an excellent summary of the types of yoga with the emphasis on finding the one that's right your body. There was no pressure or assumptions about what anybody should do, but a clear and gentle offering of the main poses and their benefits. I found it both helpful and inspiring Am going to buy the print version now, so I can open it and prop it up at the head of my yoga mat.

Great book Very easy to understand all the poses and the benefits you get from them They even give you a link to download some other free poses and sequences

I liked the author’s story of how she began her journey into yoga. The book is written in a very easy way. . The writer briefly covers the history and the myths that surround yoga. Each exercise has a description, images, instructions. A beginner's guide.

Yoga is good for what ails you. No one ever disputes that. But seeing it laid out as matter-of-factly as it is in Luisa Ray’s Yoga for Every Body is eye opening. According to Ray, yoga can reduce stress, relieve anxiety, reduce inflammation, fight depression, prevent heart disease, decrease lower back pain, reduce chronic pain improve sleep quality, improve flexibility and balance, increase strength and balance, help improve breathing, improve digestion, and help with weight management. For all of that, though, yoga isn’t a panacea. It’s not like one of those drugs or supplements that promise you the moon and very little develops. With yoga, it’s thousands of years tried and true, but you have to do the work. What Ray does better than many is state the work succinctly, in language that almost anyone can understand. Additionally, well executed line illustrations demonstrate the postures. Interestingly, though, unlike many yoga primers, we’re not just seeing supermodels or super skinny yoginis doing the postures. In Ray’s book, the postures really are being done by every “body” and this inclusivity makes the postures — and the practice — seem all the more approachable. Ray’s book is one that those new to yoga will find themselves referring to again and again as they deepen their practice. The author describes how to do a pose as well as how not to do a pose and variations that will allow you to either simplify the pose to work with your body or deepens it to get even more out of your practice. Yoga is for Every Body is the book I wish I’d had when I started yoga; a simple yet sophisticated primer that really is for every body.

Lets see, this book showed me that I am truly out of shape and inflexible. Honestly I struggled to do most of the poses BUT what I really loved about the book was the info included about each pose. I plan to get this body together and I am thankful to have a book to guide me. I chose this book because I am a VERY diverse type of person and I really appreciated the different shapes, colors, and gender of each individual displayed. I also Loved the important info provided like when not to do a pose or what the pose is used for. I would definitely recommend this book, best wishes to all!!
