Book Reviews of Insight Yoga
Book Review: Finally, Sarah Powers' Book - we've been waiting!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a follower of Sarah Powers, with her quiet style encouraging one to explore stillness and the wonderful practice of Yin Yoga and mindfulness meditation, it is wonderful to have her book by my bedside. It is my new constant companion. Intestingly, the day I received my book, shorly after publication, I took a Meditation workshop in which the instructor read passages from the book to the class. The next week I experienced a Yin Yoga class, and coincidently, some of Sarah's postures were introducted to us. This is how keenly awaited the book has been. It does not disappoint. Sarah's compassion to all beings and love of the practice shows on every page. Practical and philosophical...this book has it all!Book Review: a rare gem of a book
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has had the privilege of practising under Sarah's guidance knows she is a brilliant teacher. Her acute spirit of inquiry, devotion to practice and fearlessness are 100% in the spirit of Patanjali and Buddha, and here she reclaims the liberating tradition of yoga from those who would reduce it to mere ¨Body-ism¨ with this superb book. From having studied with her I expected great information and useful content, but what amazes me about this book is its incredible conciseness and clarity. Sarah's ability to see the common thread in seemingly disparate traditions and deliver the pith essence for our liberation is amazing. A book I will be absorbing for years to come.Book Review: A JEWEL!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a jewel!
A clear and insightful manual, blending the wisdom of Yoga, Buddhism and Chinese Medicine.
How wonderful, to follow threads that so skillfully combine these great traditions! The subject is presented in an in-depth manner, but is also made accessible to novices who are looking to explore yoga in a way that doesn't just skim the surface. The instruction is lucid and thorough, and the format makes it easy to follow and understand.
An impressive and detailed guide for serious self exploration.
Definitely among the best books on the subject!
Book Review: Wonderful guide to Yin/Yang yoga and meditation
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend Sarah Power's insightful and lucid guide to the practice of yoga and mindfulness meditation. Her clear explanation of the different threads of Hatha and Taoist yoga, as well as, the foundational ideas of Buddhism and mindfulness meditation are poetic and inspiring. She has the ability to translate Eastern thought without loosing the spirit of the teachings. In fact, she has a wonderful knack for making such teachings more accessible to the western mind. This book is great for beginners and experienced yogis alike.Book Review: One of the best organized and most inovative books on Yoga I've read to date!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been following Paul Grilley's Yin Yoga work for some time now and recently picked up a copy of Ms. Powers - Insight Yoga. It's very easy follow her explanation of the Chi Meridian Channels in conjunction with her yoga stretching series.
I agree with Mr. Grilley's assessment of her being the Beatles like innovator of her presentation of Yin and Yang Yoga.
This is a must read for serious yoga practitioners!
All the Best,
