Great for us over 50 gals!

I really think this is a great book for all of us over 50 gals. The photos are helpful and the description of the moves thorough. I also like the fact that the photos are of rather average women with a few grey hairs and wrinkles! Enjoy!

Yoga Over 50 Book

Good book. I've done yoga before, so I was familiar with poses. If you haven't done yoga before, this may be hard for a first-timer.

Yoga books

I use this book allot in teaching and showing my older students that no matter what age, yoga is for everyone.

Inspiration and Encouragement for life-long yoga practice

I had done yoga seriously for 10 years in my 30's, but when I took it up again, to attempt to alleviate increasing 'aches and pains', I thought I was becoming 'too old' at age 53, because I couldn't do it as well as when I was younger. This book showed me that people older than I am were continuing to practice yoga. Now, at 57, I'm enjoying yoga more than I ever did when I was younger; I'm appreciating it on many more levels than simply the physical; AND my back pain is gone, my shoulder tension and sciatica are reduced to mild discomfort when tired, my ankles and wrists are more flexible than they've ever been. All this, thanks to the encouragement of a picture book, (as well as an excellent teacher who trained with the author) to reinforce the previous experience I've had with yoga. Now my 59 year old husband is beginning yoga, using the book. It's excellent.

Excellent Starter for Beginners of any Age

I started using this book at age 41, and found it is extremely practical & provides easy to follow directions. The recommended programs at the back give guidance that other books don't. I have mild sciatica now rather than the crippling back pain I suffered from 2 years ago, before following the programs in this book.
