So good I actually bought it

I took this out of the local library and found it so informative that I bought a copy. Don't let the title fool you, this isn't a bunch of ultra limber people posing - this is cool little tricks of the trade you can use to deepen your practice. Many of these techniques are taught by Iyengar instructors, and others as modifications, ways of opening the body, etc. Great little book at a veyr reasonable price.

A great hatha yoga book

A very helpful book detailing the use of props. The writing is concise and easy to understand. The photo layout is easy to determine the correct alignment and use of props. This book has helped my practice.

TOTALLY COOL!

This book is totally cool, delightful and delicious, just like yoga! I initially bought this book for my 23 year old daughter, thinking she could relate to the title. I quickly saw that the "tricks", clearly illustrated by people of different ages, various body types and backgrounds, are techniques for safely deepening our yoga practice. The author, Miriam Austin, credits her most influential teachers, including Ramanand Patel, who is well known for his ingenious use of yoga props. I'm adding this title to my list of recommended books for older students and their teachers!
