Book Reviews of Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga with Rodney Yee

Book Review: Great book for incorporating yoga into your life at home
Summary: 5 Stars

"Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga With Rodney Yee" by Rodney Yee with Nina Zolotow provides a systematic approach to developing and maintaining a yoga practice. It presents the ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practices, meditation, and philosophical study that are tools for achieving liberation as a way to lead you to your own innate, ever-changing balance.

The bulk of this book describes poses that are introduced by categories each week of the program. I liked how the poses are shown with variations to accommodate different levels of strength and flexibility. The text has many photographs, all in color. While some of these pictures are pretty small, you can still see the pose Yee is illustrating and imitate the pose yourself.

If the book only provided the poses, it would still be a good book. However, it also provides information regarding living in balance and in the third part information on customizing your practice. This is the chapter I really found useful. It is a very short chapter, but one I think is important because everyone needs to customize their practice to meet their own personal goals for practicing yoga.

In an ideal world, everyone would be able to practice with a qualified instructor. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. For whatever reason, if you can't work with an instructor, Yee's book will enable you to learn and incorporate yoga into your own life. The book has an emphasis on home practice and encourages you to work on what works best for your own body.

If you are fortunate enough to attend classes with a qualified instructor, this book makes a great supplemental aid for bridging what you do in class and home. Regardless of you experience level, this book has a lot to offer. I also believe this book combined with DVDs is even better. Sometimes it benefits to see how Yee gets into the poses, rather than just the finished position. I know Yee has a lot of DVDs out, I personally have 6 or 7 of them. The combination of this book with DVDs provides a lot to practice. Even if you don't get any DVDs, I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to incorporate yoga practice into their lives.
