A Morning Cup of Yoga: One 15-minute Routine for a Lifetime of Health & Wellness [Spiral-bound] Review

A lovely little book, simply and beautifully written, which details a 15 minute morning workout that can really make a diference if practiced regularly.The accompanying CD will make sure one sticks to the timeframe :)The book is very nicely produced, hardback with ringbinding inside, so it lays flat, thus making it easier to look at the illustrations the first time thru.The writer gets into the philosophy of yoga simply and concisely, and even manages to give nice little explanations of the yoga sutras and an excellent guide to meditation.Oh - and the drawings and colours used are so cute!

Morning Yoga Workouts (Morning Workout Series) [Paperback] Review

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!

A Morning Cup of Tai Chi (The Morning Cup series) [Spiral-bound] Review

Very often I have read tai chi books that explain the art of tai chi using Chinese metaphors, like snake creeps down, making it very difficult for me to comprehend and use them in my daily exercize.The genius of John Fey is his ability to use simple American concepts which I am familiar as the basis of his routines.For example draw acircle with your hand. I am amazed at the benefit I have achieved by using John's previous books and tapes. I am 65 years old and move and have the energy of a 40 year old.Do not be fooled by the simplicity of the book. Practicing the tai chi routines have a powerful effect onthe mind/body.
