it is mired in bad, or no editing
I recently bought this book, and while helpful I couldn't help but feel as if I was being talked to as a three year old. Of course I am going to get out of it what I want, however I wish the author would have spent an extra day proof-reading before printing. For what little assistance there is; it is mired in bad, or no editing, and I am speaking of things that change meaning... For example"The reason for this is because when you throw your body right into static stretching before your muscles have had a chance to catch up and get pliable, you actually reduce the effectiveness of more dynamic movements and REDUCE the risk of injury".I'm quite certain she meant increase the risk of injury which entirely changes the meaning. This is one of many, and while some may say you're being over harsh on your analysis, I feel that if I'm spending money to buy a book from you that you can have the respect for your audience to edit it. It's very distracting to read something you're trying to learn when it's poorly written.

Not bad, but the black and white photos are not too great. I'm not finding myself reaching for this as a reference very much. Its inexpensive though, so that's good.

needs more pictures for more complex poses
fine for simpler poses, but I had a hard time following some of the more complex ones, step by step pictures would have been a great help.

I thought maybe this can help me get my basics down but it's like not even yoga 101
Seriously? This book has some really basic postures and I'm not a fan. I thought maybe this can help me get my basics down but it's like not even yoga 101. I hated this purchase. It's not a good book by any means. It's the equivalent of getting a child's book on yoga with poses that aren't even named correctly.

Fun, yet the focus feels as if it pulls away from the roots of yoga. However, I hope this acts as a gateway for ANY MAN that thinks yoga is not worth his time. It totally is.

I need yoga
Great little book on poses that everyone should do. As a runner I practice daily the poses that are given. Excellent book.

Not bad but I expected a bit more on the instructional side.
Somewhat helpful and interesting but I expected a bit more on the instructional side.

Puffed Out Pamphlet
More of a puffed out pamphlet, not sure where the man specific relevance is unless it is the extra ab related poses near the end, the ones without any pictures or diagrams. Disappointed with the book it smacks of making a quick buck, would suggest putting your money towards something with a bit more depth to it if you are a man and want to get into yoga.

Disappointed
Very Very Basic. I thought this would be a more in-depth book, unfortunately, it's pretty much a list of common poses with silhouette diagrams and such. You would do better to do an actual class a few times.
