Appearance
Not worth it.
I can honestly say i'm very disappointed with this book. I expected to actually learn more about about poses (especially for the elderly) As a yoga instructor myself i found this book to be horrible i would never recommend it for a beginner. Yes, the poses are for beginners but what the book fails to do is explain these poses, and what prep poses to do. Not once did the book mention the four points of contact on the foot to help with balance it fails to remind the reader to make sure there archs are not collapsing, it lacks tellin readers about the common mistakes that are done in certain poses. I would not recommend it if you are a beginner or a yoga instructor, searchin for modiifications.
Yoga books
I have been teaching yoga to an older group and this has helped me teach them safely with props, and keep them interested in learning new techniques without fear.
NOT for 50+
I am not totally out of shape. I do cardio and weight/resistance training at the Y for an hour or more three days a week. I also ride my own horse (English) But I am 70 years old. The author really has no concept of what an older body can do and particularly what an older body CAN'T do! Very deceptively titled.
As Advertised
I ordered this part for my 1978 International Scout which can be difficult to find certain parts for the desired application. The part I ordered is not the exact part needed, but it can be modified to perform the assigned task.I will continue to use Amazon for almost everything I need for my unusual vehicle.
Not philosophy
If you expect this book to espouse a philosophy you will probably be disappointed. Instead, it presents a very simply blue print and offers a very beautiful promise.
E.J. Rath's 'Sam'
This is a charming look into 'high society' in 1915, when the book was originally written. It's a fun mixture of characters and the tricky, comical and embarrasing situations they get themselves into and the subterfuge they engage in to redeem themselves. It takes place in August when the 'upper crust' vacations on self-owned islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence river, and involves possible burglars, spies and smugglers.
