Book Reviews of Power Yoga For Dummies

Book Review: Excellent, amazing examples and photos
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been aptly humbled. Years ago I was asked to participate in a Yoga class and immediately dismissed the idea as I felt "Yoga is too easy..." WOW was I wrong! A year ago while scrolling through channels, I happened upon a program named "Namaste Yoga" on the Fitness channel. "What the hay," I said "Can't be too hard." I am grateful to say the program I happened upon was one of the easier ones, as some of them are fairly difficult. I found myself crashing on my head during one of my earlier attempts at crane; however, I have persevered and could not imagine life without Yoga. Thank you for the extraordinary book and possibilities I will have sticking with this amazing discipline. It has changed my life.

Now, at the turn of the new millennium, Yoga has a younger sibling, Power Yoga. A high-energy physical discipline embraced by Sting, Madonna, and thousands of other celebrities, professional athletes, and health advocates, Power Yoga takes the basics of Yoga and gives it a good healthy dose of aerobics to tone all your muscles, sharpen your focus, ease your spirit, and strengthen your heart.
