I had to purchase this book for a Yin yoga workshop I took, and I have to say, the book does a good job of explaining the poses, how to get in and out of the poses, the pictures are very helpful. The information is great, however, I was following along with the instructor. Chapter 1 & 2 were a great introduction along with Chapters 7 & 8. I will be using this book when I prep for my classes. It's a very well written book, and I would recommend it. Read more

I have never looked into yin yoga, and thought it would be a good balancing movement to learn about. I was underprepared by the wealth of knowledge and value this book contains! It briefly discusses history, how yin and yang movements work together, and then the middle has specific poses and guidelines to help release and stress deep tissue. It does a great job at not just explaining the how, but the why. What took my experience to the next level was the whole 2nd half of the book!! It bridges the gap between western science and eastern energetics! It talks about all the various body tissues, systems, cellular processes, etc (in easily understood language) to help explain how amazingly complex, and brilliant our bodies are. It also helps emphasize how we can heal ourselves. My book has become well loved from the worn cover, marked pages, highlights etc. Definately one that will stay ok my shelf for continuous reference.
