What a wonderful book (that I think all teachers should read). Full of body positivity (bodies of any size, any ability, and any age have a right to practice yoga!), photos and descriptions of various asanas in many forms of expression, and wonderful reminders that your yoga practice is about YOU - how you feel in a pose, not how someone else THINKS you should be in a pose.

Yoga at all levels

I definitely appreciated the chapters dedicated to descriptions (and photos) of different positions- and all of them had at least three recommended adjustments including chair poses and using blocks or other props if the 'original' pose is too difficult. Not everyone can handle doing all the poses, so it was good to get support for doing what you can, when you can. This is a book that aims for a wide audience, from beginners to instructors, and is the sort of book that you can continually go back to as you change and develop in your practice. Excellent photographs to assist in poses. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
