This was the first book and CD I purchased when I became interested in yoga a couple of years ago. At the time I had little access to yoga classes and wasn't sure where to start. I encountered this little gem and have since established a steady home practice; I count this beginner set as a turning point for me. The really terrific thing about this book and CD is the gentle pace at which Tara Frazer moves you through the elemental postures. Her focus on ujayii breathing helps the beginner to learn not only the postures in their proper form, but also the necessary breath work - most important in helping the concentration and ultimately in helping the meditation in motion that is yoga. Anybody who wants to get started on a yoga practice, forget the videos (after all, who can do yoga and watch a video at the same time?) and get this set.
