Description
To the person just starting out, yoga can seem intimidating and complex. The vast majority of yoga books address themselves to the advanced practitioner, but you’re still trying to figure out where to begin. Finally, Cybele Tomlinson, a well-known yoga teacher and writer for Yoga Journal, provides a beginner’s guide to the most talked about practices in the world today.
This is a book we all wished we had before we took our first yoga class! It offers clear and useful advice about choosing the right class and teacher for you and therefore will prepare you to learn yoga with confidence.
-Judith H Lasater, PhD, Physical Therapist, yoga teacher, and author of Living Your Yoga and Relax & Renew
Cybele Tomlinson has written a very helpful book for beginners. She has presented genuine yoga sensitively and knowledgeably, with a fine-tuned balance between theory and practice.
