Helpful Score: 4

Hands down, one of the BEST books on yoga I have ever read. It is easily accessible for the beginner, breaking down even the basic poses into pieces for you to work on as you deepen into the pose. It is a perfect example of how yoga is not something that you do with your body, but rather, something that you do with your mind AND your body. He offers the concepts of working your edge, and remaining relaxed but extended.

There is an excellent section on meditation that can get you started or deepen this aspect of your practice. And, using his step-by-step instructions, I finally learned how to do the headstand (shirshasana) that the woman is doing on the cover, which I could never quite do before. Hint: it's all about finding your inner balance.
