Book Reviews of Yoga Body, Buddha Mind
Book Review: Simple, instructive, enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is exactly what it purports to be. It is written by a yoga instructor and practicing Buddhist who, after searching for her own answers, is sharing her perception on the connection between yoga and Buddhism. It is clearly written in enjoyable, yet simple prose, and has plenty of poses explained from the body (yoga) perspective and the mind (Buddha) perspective.
One reviewer stated that it is more a rambling lecture than a serious monograph. Well, certainly. Does it look like it will be a serious monograph? It looks like a cheery handbook, and though it is more than that, it certainly isn't heavy or serious (but then, it never claims to be such).
I really, really liked it. I found that her questions were my questions and her answers resonated with me or at least gave me a good basis for thought.
It is important to note that I am not a (legitimately) practicing Buddhist, though am at the fringe; nor am I an experienced/expert yogini - I have been practicing for only three years and haven't found my place yet (Kundalini, Barkam, Hatha...).
If you are looking for something intense and deep, heavy and serious, this is not the book for you.
If you are looking for words from someone with a lot of experience, a personal touch, lightness (but certainly not frivolous), and practical, this may be the book for you; it was for me.
