 Excellent book for the Ashtanga StudentJul 20, 2010
This book is an excellent companion to any Ashtanga practice. Clearly defines the poses, easy to follow and very informative. Has even helped when I attend class, when class has moved quickly I know what the pose is from recalling the descriptions and photos in the book. Love it!
The only yoga book you needJun 18, 2010
I have a few yoga books, but I never look at them any more since I got this one - this one is the best! This book has a little humor but has tons of great subtle clues on getting into the poses. It is very easy to use while you are doing yoga. I thought all the nearly naked man pictures would get a bit much but you get used to them and it's really just a great book.
Best Ashtanga Yoga book everJun 06, 2010
This is the book took me to the path of Ashtanga Yoga, after reading the first few chapters I ordered every DVD and Book from David S and Richard Freeman etc..and started my own home practice, if you buy only one yoga book, then please buy this one!.
Yoga Beginner - Love it!Mar 26, 2010
I've taken yoga off and on for years. But in the recent months I had been very focused on the practice. When my yogi decided to move away I freaked out. Then he told me to purchase this book and we spent 30+ hours going through it together. The combination of the book and personal instruction was amazing. Then I found out my yogi had studied with David for a year. The book had everything we have been working on for the past 4 months...now I am ready for "self-practice" at the primary level. When I master that, then I can move on to the second series with no problems with the help of this book. Breath follows movement was the essential element that has really transformed my practice.
really excellent resource!Feb 06, 2010
I wouldn't learn Ashtanga from this book, but I wouldn't want to practice it without this book. It contains modifications and advice on the primary and intermediate series, as well as finishing postures. It's excellently photographed and lies flat, which is very helpful. I take Mysore classes and like to read about new positions to get another perspective on them, and extra pointers as a refresher. Highly, highly recommended.
Ashtanga really has to be learned from another person, I think, since it's very intimidating and you do not want to hurt yourself. Swenson emphasizes safety and doing things at the right pace, which is what I think any teacher worth learning from would say. Enjoy your practice!
