Anodea Judith's Chakra Yoga Kindle Edition

I love Anodea Judith’s work and she is top notch (I highly recommend Wheels of Life!), her work is detailed and incredibly helpful. But my copy of the book has poor editing and some of the pictures are placed badly so they block out the text. I noticed this is the First Edition fourth printing in 2017. Maybe a bad batch? Ugh it’s frustrating because I want to take in every single word of hers!!! Giving 4 stars, docking 1 Star because poor publishing, but the author’s work is excellent. Otherwise 5 stars.

I've recently fallen in love with yoga and go to a studio 2-3 times weekly. This book is PERFECT for helping start my home practice and supporting my goals related to energy healing of the chakras. I love, love, love the poses and sequences listed, and they're great to do exactly as-is or to mix and match a few poses from each chakra! There is a beautiful flow to these sequences, and they're challenging too. I will be using this wonderful book for years to come!! Highly highly recommend.

First yoga book I purchased and I am so pleased with the author’s approach to instruction. Descriptions and photos makes easy to understand. Poses organized into Chapters by Chakra. Besides yoga classes twice a week, I do my own yoga session twice a week. I am motivated to start and complete my own sessions by working one chapter per session. I have enough time to add my own favorite poses too. I am between Level I & II. This book is good for Beginners who can leave out more advanced poses.

Another beautifully and articulately composed book from Anodea Judith. I love how this is set up by chakra and breaks down each pose with pictures, specific cuing, and guidelines. I have never felt more able to conceptualize the energy of the chakras as present within the asanas as after reading this book. It is a super great follow-up to her Eastern Body, Western Mind.

This is a great book for developing a Chakra based yoga practice. I have used it to plan parts of classes and whole classes around each Chakra or general tune in. It's clearly written and a good book for the beginner and more experienced teacher or for personal practice. Highly recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I've been an energy worker for many years so I wasn't expecting anything new, but there was! I love soaking up the new info and seeing how someone else interprets the energy.

Beautiful book! It's colorful and well designed. Each chakra has it's own chapter and there are colored numbers on the sides of the pages so you can quickly and easily identify the chakra associated with that section. Great photos and easy to follow directions for the yoga postures. My one complaint is that the pronunciation guide she gives for the seed mantra sound for each chakra is completely different than what I've read everywhere else.

As the book suggests, this book covers the various yoga poses affiliated with each of the chakras. I highly recommend this book. The author knows yoga as well as the chakras very well and ties them together in an easy to follow book. Its divided by chakra and is color coded by chakra so you can find what you're looking for quickly and easily. Great read.

I am so much enjoying this book.I have been practising yoga for 49 years, so I'm not a beginner. However, I've suffered from arthritis, an inherited condition in my case, for even longer - that's why I first tried yoga all those decades ago.Judith Anodea explains that she developed her extraordinary practice because her own health condition made it challenging to participate in those yoga classes at the gym, in which it's more like a competition with the sculpted neighbour on the next mat. Proper yoga schools don't allow this sort of thing, or at least that's the theory. Practising from Anodea's book was like a breath of fresh air, as she explained about moving into the pose in your own time, and feeling it take residence in your body, rather than you forcing the issue.I haven't owned this book long enough to comment on it's value long term - I'd like to try out the seven-week plan and see what that does for me. However, the excerises, asanas and other material on the root chakra have made a real difference in my life after just a few weeks.For excellent writing, spelling, grammar, understanding of yoga at many levels ~ it's a five star from me.

This has been on my wish list for over two years now. I have hummed and hawed, putting it in my basket and taking it out.I borrowed it out the library last year to see if I liked the feel and layout of the book (had a quick flick through and it sat on the table until it was time to go back). Numerous times I have bought books and not really got into them (not that I'm picky, but things like yoga books need to feel right)......and I've never been too sure about actually doing yoga from a book. It seems faffy so I always resort to YouTube. However this book is well laid out and seems fairly conducive to working from (she even says this after using books herself) .I'm Sooooo glad I finally bought this. I am not sure if it is now the right time or what, but this book has already made a difference and I've only just read the initial bits and into the root chakra. It explains alot about the imbalances that I actually experience.I thought I knew something about chakras but actually wasn't aware of the depth of the affect an out of sync chakra (excessive or depleted) can actually have. It now makes a lot more sense. Many times I have done chakra yoga videos or meditations thinking it was the right things but not really getting or feeling the changes required or I thought I would.Everything is explained in a very down to earth way, so you really only need to read it once to get it. You feel like she is genuinely sitting down with you talking to you.Looking forward to getting into the poses now that I actually know more about it and will definitely look into getting more of Anodea's books into my wish list for future reading.I genuinely don't think you will be disappointed with this book if you are into yoga or chakras.

Wonderful layout - great instructions, easy to follow yoga flow index following each chakra chapter. Each chapter has an introduction, easy to read, spiritual but not too heavy or esoteric. Anodea Judith knows how to make the system understandable and a pleasure to discover. The yoga is simple enough for beginners and more advanced poses come with plenty of tips for adjustments.

I am really enjoying this book and is the best I have found on linking yoga poses to each of the chakras. It provides a good background understanding of each chakra and detailed information on performing the relevant poses. Excellent book and I thoroughly recommend it.

Great book to learn about the seven chakra's. I would recommend the book. I've used it whilst learning to be a yoga teacher. However I know I'll continue to dip in and out of this book as I travel along my yoga journey.
