The Idiot's Guide to Yoga teaches dozens of fundamental yoga positions with full-color, step-by-step drawings for complete beginners. You can see in these pages exactly how each component of a posture is executed. This book gently guides you through poses with directions on how to adapt so it is appropriate for your level of flexibility and coordination. The poses are broken up into manageable portions, and a practise sequence at the end demonstrates how to link the poses together into a flow (yoga lingo meaning routine). This book develops with you; once you've mastered the fundamental poses and gained greater flexibility, you can graduate to more difficult modifications and more sophisticated techniques.
