Summary
Beginning yoga students need look no further for the basics under one title. Not only does this introductory course offer hefty sections on nutrition, meditation, and breathing, but it also suggests three different 10-week programs that a beginning student can follow for a focused, disciplined immersion into the yoga lifestyle. Alice Christianson lovingly puts together a dense workbook that includes many photos showing poses from numerous angles, and adds a few surprising extras, such as sections on yoga during pregnancy, yoga and sports, and yoga and stress management.

The American Yoga Association's Easy Does It Yoga
by Alice Christensen
Unlike classic "beginner" guides, AMERICAN YOGA ASSOCIATION'S EASY DOES IT YOGA is for people of all ages who can't stretch their joints or maintain a high level of exertion but still want to enjoy the many healthful benefits of yoga. Alice Christensen, who developed Easy Does It Yoga, a nationally recognized program for older adults, gives special attention to various physical limitations as she guides readers through the basics of yoga exercising, breathing, and meditation. Although it is modified to suit special needs, the program is just as effective as more strenuous ones for building flexibility and strength, enhancing concentration and emotional stability, increasing energy, relieving stress, and developing the ability to relax at will.
