Book Reviews of Power Yoga: The Total Strength and Flexibility Workout
Book Review: A complete, and very good, Yoga program.
Summary: 4 Stars
I do the Basic postures described in this book almost every day. I have done so for over a year and find it very satisfying.The book describes the postures well, and the pictures give you a good idea of what you're doing. Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but if you work through it, you can figure it out. I also like Birch's other comments on Yoga practice in general. The postures cover a wide range of skill levels, from basic to challenging.
Book Review: As close to personal tuition as a book can get!
Summary: 5 Stars
Beryl has a rare ability to teach the physical and spiritual through words and pictures. I have really enjoyed her book! It was my first experience with any form of yoga and, solely through her book, she lead me through its philosophy and techniques, leaving no question unanswered and no movement unexplained. My body is handling my running schedule with much more ease and my flexibility is improving remarkably. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I only wish Beryl would do a video - just so I can see her in action and have something to aspire to.Book Review: my only complaint is that it doesn't come hard-bound

Kant's CRITIQUE was my favorite book for a couple years. POWER YOGA beats it hands down. I can not say enough about this book. Do not buy it planning to stretch calmly for five minutes a day.Book Review: my only complaint is that it doesn't come hard-bound

Summary: 5 Stars
The author understands the subject well and takes her readers through the basics with a clear, concise, easy-to-follow style and hundreds of photographs. Her enthusiasm is contagious--and well it should be. This book was my introduction to Astanga (Power Yoga), a wonderful practice that strengthens, heals and rejuvenates. Astanga and the author promise a lot--and deliver. I am a physical fitness buff who has engaged in all manner of exercise over the last 20 years--including weight training, aerobics, martial arts and traditional Hatha Yoga--but I have found nothing to compare to the overall benefits of Astanga Yoga. It is no exaggeration to say that this practice has changed my life for the positive. I am 43 years old and feel 13 again! I would urge practitioners to supplement this book with the David Swensen videos--but start with he book. Anyone interested in learning more may feel free to e-mail me at the above address. I have no financial ties to the author or the practice of Astanga Yoga; I am just someone who has a sincere interest in helping others obtain the same benefits I have reaped from Astanga Yoga.
