Way too intense of adjustments for my students. Definitely for the ultra-flexible, experienced practitioners. Also the photos with all the arrows and whatnot -- too clunky and distracting for me.

This might appear to be a book just for yoga teachers, but it is much more. The illustrations of the yoga assists include diagrams of the energetic pathways that the asana is aligned to. A beginner can look at these illustrations and have a new insight about what they should experience in the asanas. Both teachers and students alike...take a look inside!The big type in the print book lets you put the book on the floor next to where you are working and still read each assist.The IBook enhanced version has videos and lots of interactivity...and we do like to interact, don't we?

This book is filled with great information, but don't purchase the Kindle edition. I don't know if the plan is to update it, but there are errors regarding the physical layout. Most concerning and disappointing are the directional pictures. They seem to be amazing but unfortunately are too small to relate the necessary information properly. I find myself squinting and trying to tell arrows from lines and finally just give up. I wish I held out and purchased the hard copy book. My loss.
