5 Stars Excellent Book
I love how this book is written. It explains exactly what I wanted to know about yoga when I began… I think the author is fabulous.
3 Stars Good premise, average execution
A very interesting premise that is well presented — until you get to the Yoga sequences.
The sequences are very basic and very repetitive — with the same photographs being used over and over again.
In short, there are better books on the practice of Mindfulness and there are better books on Yoga practice.
If you want both in one book, then this one is OK. Although, personally, I’d recommend Erich Schiffman’s “Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving Into Stillness” over this one.
My copy of Schiffmann’s book is well thumbed. But I doubt that I will pull “Mindfulness Yoga” off my bookshelf too many more times.
5 Stars Exactly what a yogi needs to know
I’ve been doing yoga for about 5 years and began to become more interested in why we do yoga, in its spirtual underpinnings if you will. This book perfectly addresses that topic. There’s an excellent description of yoga’s origins and relationship to Buddhism. Moreover, it’s a great tool to turn yoga asanas and movement into “moving meditation.” Even in vinyasa-power yoga, there’s a lot we can learn about and practice to enhance mind-body-spirit connection. This book does an outstanding job of informing the new or experienced yogi about how to gain more insight into what we really want to achieve from yoga.
5 Stars Buddhism and hatha yoga
This is a must read for yoga practitioners who want to expand and deepen their knowledge of Buddhism and its relationship to hatha yoga practice.
