Awesome

I bought this with David Swensen's book and the two complement each other well. The pictures are really great, and there are useful highlighted tips. I haven't used it as much in practice as Swensen's book because it doesn't stay open as well (the binding is more difficult than the spiral of Swensen's book), but the information conveyed is useful and well done. Good Choice.

Ashtanga Yoga: The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide to Dynamic Yoga

The book has good step by step instructions however the instructions are for advance yogis. A beginner or someone who has been doing yoga for a short time would find it difficult to do the majority of the poses.

Get It

This book has been my companion since I began practicing Ashtanga Yoga. John's detailed and thorough description of the vinyasa and poses are extremely helpful both as a student and, now, as an Ashtanga teacher. I now use it as an occasional reference but remember when I would consult it almost daily in order to refine my practice. I highly recommend this text as one of the only "pure" Ashtanga books, ideally complimented by taking Ashtanga classes if you can. A++.
