Book excerpt: “One of the simplest yet most comprehensive yoga books to be published in recent memory, Miller’s work could become a classic . . . appropriate for all levels.” —Publishers Weekly From the bestselling author of The Yoga Deck comes Essential Yoga—the only hatha yoga book to offer this many poses (over 100), this many illustrations (over 180), and this many suggested sequences (over 50). Focusing on the poses themselves, it provides clear, concise instructions and detailed illustrations for each. It also includes six classic moving meditations (such as Sun Salutation and Camel Vinyasa), ten beginner-to-advanced sessions, and 48 mini-sequences designed to build strength for specific activities or alleviate health problems. Essential Yoga combines physical poses (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayamas), and meditations (dhyanas) into a simple and complete reference guide for yoga practitioners of all levels. Along the way, author Olivia Miller provides guidance on proper technique and alignment; modifications for beginners or those with knee, neck, or back pain; suggestions for preventing injury; and ways to keep a regular practice interesting and active.
