   Renowned yoga master Erich Schiffmann offers an easy-to-follow technique. Through simple instruction and essential illustrations, this book reveals more than one hundred poses and yoga routines for all levels of ability that will slow or even reverse aging, increase stamina and strength, and slim and tone the body; a complete program of meditation to promote self-realization, decrease stress, and promote creativity. Discover how to feel balanced, centered, and coordinated, increase flexibility, eliminate pain, and become free of life’s negativity through the spirit and practice of Yoga. In my opinion, there are a lot of better yoga books out there and this one is a bit advanced, especially if you’re a beginner. This isn’t one I’d recommed to anyone.. there’s too much theory and not enough yoga.

   The first few chapters seemed like the usual mumbo jumbo. He went to India and saw a guru and learned some important “values”. The second section where he describes about breathing and asanas is the most useful along with his description of how to do the poses. I think he is also over-elaborate in doing the poses.

   I am disappointed in this book. I was expecting a book which takes you right into practicing Yoga but the first Chapter is all about the author’s youthful years in England and India. Then the next Chapters are on meditation. I got bored and put it down and haven’t picked up it since.

   It has everything I’m interested in, in clear easy-to-understand language.
