RATING:
C+
I like
the way that asanas are explained in this book – but I do not
approve of the suggestions to use props! I also strongly disagreed
with the point on page 120, stating that one 'can not successfully'
meditate while lying down. Personally, I was using the lying down
position before i knew meditation existed, to 'contemplate
spirituality' - same thing/diff name. It was the easiest position for
me to take when beginning meditating, therefore, I can safely say it
DOES work - better than any other position for me, in fact.
A
second major factor that disappointed me was the fact that the book
was 'manufactured in China'. However, overall, I was glad that i read
this book - as it emphasized a few factors that seem 'minor' in some
other publications - such as the purpose of 'tucking in the tummy'.
This may seem a minor matter, but it can make a big difference to a
genuine practice!
I would recommend this
book to anyone interested in an at-home Yoga practice that does not
mind buying 'made in China' items.
