Lilias! Yoga: Your Guide to Enhancing Body, Mind, and Spirit in Midlife and Beyond

Overall, a good book. Here's the plus reasons (and a minus or two, depending upon what you are looking for):If you're interested, there is information in the first part of the book dealing more with the "head" aspects of yoga. If you are looking for poses only, simply skip past this part. (Interesting reading for those new to yoga...so even if you skip it for now, consider going back later).Many pictures in the book, which is good. However, I have the Kindle version, and even when I enlarge them, they are workable but still a little smaller than I would have liked. I am not sure how they appear in a print book.Many poses are featured, all with great descriptions and pictures. Many of these are the "easier" poses, so if you are new to yoga or older (or both!) and in reasonably good health, you should have no problems getting started. There are some routines (salutations, etc.) near the end, and the author helpfully includes page numbers of the poses in each routine as well as a small picture reminder -- great ideas which are not always included in other books. There is also an Appendix explaining props you may need as well as potential substitutions (which you may have somewhere around the house).I was fortunate enough to purchase this book at a reduced Kindle price ($1.99), and may not have considered it sight unseen for the normal price of $9.99. However, after receiving this book, I heartily recommend it. The book is definitely worth the $9.99 Kindle/ $15.80 paperback price.

After years of yoga, I found I could no longer do the stretches without muscle & joint problems, so age has made me more agreeable to a softer approach. This book does it, with some meditation hints as well.

Again - bad layout for Kindle. Buy the hardcopy.

A classic; especially good for older practitioners. Good pictures. Recommended

Lilias has been in our home (on VHS, PBS,) for a long long time. She is easy to watch and easy to learn from.She has the ability to get it across without talking down to you and making it do-able. So use it and get flexible and you will get stronger. She hasn't veried her message or her style and that tells you she is the real teacher and for 70+ years old we don't want a fad style jumpin and pumpin workout. This and the AM PM DVD are perfect. Try the 101 tape with four routines on it as well. It can change you for the better.ANS

I learned yoga with Lilias on PBS - it is wonderful to have her on disc

Lilias is a very real Person who not only is a true Yogi, but a professional with a very sincere and caring heart! She truly is the epitome of Yoga.

Many years ago I practised yoga along with Lillias on her pbs show and videos. In this book she guides the over 50 in the same gentle and mindful way that I remember!
