This is a helpful introduction to yoga for healing. You'll find the book easy to follow and helpful. Great tool!

This book does exactly what it promises-it teaches you how to do a variety of poses so that you can do them anywhere for a short period of time and get the benefits of feeling stronger and accomplished. I easily learned all the poses and I love it! Great for improving balance too. I thank Librarything and Steve Kelley for the opportunity to read and review this book. ( )

This is a good book for starters. It explains each pose - the who's, why's and how's- and has some very nice illustrations. Now I need to get into a routine.

This book is just what I needed thank you ( )

Kelley's book is aimed at beginner or intermediate yoga practitioners. It offers what initially might be seen as a limited number of poses, but it's important to understand that these are part of a sequence. It's also intended to be a gentle yoga sequence, so readers who want to do fancy social media poses won't find those here. That's not at all a dig at Kelley; these gentle building blocks are the fundamentals of yoga.

The introduction is fairly general and reads a bit like a magazine article. There's interesting information and advice, but it's extremely general and not in-depth. I enjoyed his advice about realistic goal setting, and it can be applied to things other than yoga. The endless citations in the introduction are interesting, but it's hard to tell how they fit into the overall book.

There are QR codes included with each pose so that you can scan them and refer to them while you're on the go and do not have the book in hand. I confess that I'm not a QR code kind of person, but this seems like a really good idea!

I'm not sure what's going on with the text, but I couldn't read it (and see that other reviewers also mentioned this issue). I can see what looks like detailed instructions, and there are clear and colorful illustrations of what you're supposed to be doing. No matter how I try to manipulate the images on my screen, though, I cannot read the actual text that describes how to do the poses.

I really wish that I could read the instructions and offer a review of the parts of the book that discuss poses, but I'm at a loss as to how to fix the viewing issues. If I'm ever able to update this review, I certainly will.

I really love the first written chapters that describe the benefits of yoga and how this book will help you improve your physical and mental health. The first positions are for beginners and are easy to do then the poses gradually become more advanced. You need to stick with doing 5 to 10 minutes everyday to see and feel the results. My only problem was when it came to the illustrations of the poses, I could not read the writing in the boxes around the illustrations and trying to zoom it in only made it more blurry. I just looked up the names of the poses online. If you could enlarge the words in the illustrations that would make the book 5 stars. ( )
