Book Reviews of How Yoga Works
Book Review: From A Novice Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
When I began seriously practicing yoga I asked an instructor at the studio for some reading suggestions. She broke out a recommended reading list from a training course (which I later enrolled in) and selected How Yoga Works as the book I should start with. This turns out to be the perfect book for me to have started my journey with.
What we have in this book is a fictional story about a yoga teacher and her student. Without giving too many details away, this story is a vehicle for illustrating the applications of yoga sutras to life and the situations that we encounter in the living of our lives in a believable and a relatable way. The authors use the method of storytelling to make the ideas and practices of yoga applicable to the real life circumstances, situations and crises that every human deals with.
I give this book a five-star rating because it was the perfect primer for a beginner. It gave enough information to make me hungry for more, so much so that I did get irritated at there being no index to search the book from. An index does not serve the format of this book however, so I can't begrudge such an omission. Instead, reading the story with a pen and pad of paper to record questions and thoughts is a good way to go with this book, as it will surely bring up ideas for further research and study.
