The American Yoga Association's Easy Does It Yoga : The Safe and Gentle Way to Health and Well-Being

I like the simplicity of the writing and illustrations. This is a great beginner yoga companion, especially for older adults.

This book was a very pleasant surprise. I've been teaching yoga for some time now, but wanted to begin a chair yoga class for people who either don't want to get down on the floor or who can't get down on the floor. I had some ideas of my own, but really wanted another person's perspective so ordered this book. It was all I had hoped for and then some. Ideas and suggestions abound for those who are barely able to do chair yoga to those who are quite able, giving the instructor much to draw on to expand and enrich what is covered in the classes. Highly recommended.

If you are a sixty-something yoga novice simply interested in finding an exercise routine that you can develope for daily use, this book would be a good choice. The problem I encountered in my initial book search was "information overload." Seems like there must be at least 10 million+ authors who claim to have written exactly the right "book for you." This one fit my personal needs entirely. It has about 90 exercise routines for you to pick and choose from to form a workout system that best fits your individual needs. Worked for me !!! Intelligent Intervention

I bought this book to add to my knowledge of safe and effective yoga poses for older adults. I teach senior yoga in a community setting and focus on safety. I wanted to learn about The American Yoga Associations approach to teaching older students.

Good basic information for those just starting to teach senior citizens. There are descriptions of each pose and what the purpose of each pose is for. The book is written in easy to understand language. You will need to find other books if you want more than just basic poses which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

While I have much yet to read and try in this book, I am impressed by the benefits of Yoga that the author tells about. She wrote this when she was younger . . . when a 60-year-old person was considered elderly in her eyes. Now that she is considerably older, her perspective may have changed. But I am hoping that the book - and some physical effort on my part- might improve this 80-year-old body.

I have much difficulty with regular Yoga books. This book gives the exercise and accomadations at the end of each exercise. Easy Does It Yoga is inspirational, has nutriition suggestions, and no difficult poses. I'm ready to start and I know that I'll feel better.

My wife has taken up Yoga and has gotten me to stretch in the morning with her. This should help at least me.

Very happy

Best book ever for yoga teachers

This book is for beginners. It is well done. I teach Yoga though - so I thought I would get more out of this book. All in all - recommended for beginners !

This book is full of information. The exercises are detailed.

Just my speed but what happens after the six weeks? I need more direction!
