First, favorite and very effective book on full body flexibility

I bought this book years ago when it was relatively new. It was incredibly effective and my favorite book along with Smart Girls Do Dumbbells. This book launched me into my yoga journey. It is an incredible series of stretches that improved my flexibility in a matter of months!! I just love this book. It is a must. The description for execution is perfect. Zero confusion to perfect posture and every pose has an image.
