Product Description

In 30 Essential Yoga Poses, Judith Lasater draws on her wealth of yoga practice and teaching experience, as well as her training as a physical therapist, to present this comprehensive guide for beginning students and their teachers. The author discusses yoga's ancient eightfold path and its relevance in today's world, and goes to the heart of yoga—the all-important student-teacher relationship. Thirty essential yoga poses (asana), their variations, and breathing practices (pranayama) are also provided, with guidance for the student practicing at home, and points for the classroom teacher. Sequences are presented with photographic charts for easy visual reference, and a "Mantra for Daily Practice" and glossary of anatomical terms and resources for further study are also included.

Great book5
Excellent resource for asanas. Well organized and easy to read, yet not overly simplistic. Great information for each posture, for alignments, cautions, primary focus, benefits, and variations. Includes sequences for different types of practice.

a must read5
This is an incredible book. Plenty of modifications given. great for teachers in training and serious practitioners. It would serve well as ancillary reading for any Teacher Training in any discipline. Judith writes in a concise style explaining benefits of the pose and proper alignment. She completely nails the responsibility of teaching in a safe environment. This book was not even on my TT's reading list but I would not have made it through my TT without it.

A great yoga book from a teacher's eyes & student's mind4
This is truly a great yoga reference book to learn what teachers should look at when teaching a pose. It also tells what are things students usually do (but should not)during a pose. The author also relates the physical side to the mental side of a pose, and this can definitely add dimension to our teaching. I think, however, more descriptions are needed when using different props.
