This will be a very useful book for me and for many others.The first two chapters provide a very succinct overview of the fundamentals and a detailed guide to good habits.My yoga library is fairly extensive and these two chapters provide more foundational guidance on more aspects in fewer pages than any book I can recall.Of course my short-term memory is not what it used to be!But even if there are other yoga books with this much guidance in such a short read, providing it in a book primarily aimed at the fitness market is fabulous, and you will find it to be clear and useful.
That the breath is fundamental to my experience of yoga is without question.That a morning practice (adapted to my time and ability) is not to be missed is also without question.These are now part of my enjoyment of life.
I should disclose that I have studied with Zack for nearly five years, so I am pre-disposed to write a positive review.I have also studied with Leslie Kaminoff, Mark Whitwell, Kausthub Desikachar, and T.K.V. Desikachar; and have read all their books and many others.And am currently enrolled in Gary and Mirka Kraftsow's teacher training program.I have read lots of yoga books.
Showing asana practice routines of three intensities and three time lengths is very useful.It addresses the principal obstacles to getting a home practice started - ability and time.Of course these two obstacles are issues of perception, but who knows that until we start to break the obstacles down.I bet this book will help more than a few people break them down!Thank goodness that in fact we all have all the time and ability we need, and that there are books like this and people like Zack, that are helping others to experience this truism.Life is good!
