(An excellent solution.) 『This book serves as a guide to peace with oneself - in my opinion, possibly the "final solution" to life-long problems with food and weight, and other similar matters.』
(Compassionate and Practical) 『I have struggled for years with being overweight, and I have some serious physical limitations from injuries. I found this book to be a compassionate and practical guide to making changes in a way I could manage. It is well written and intelligent, and surprisingly easy to internalize. Using yoga and meditation to develop a healthy relationship with my body has proven to be an important first step in losing weight and getting healthy. This is not a quick fix book - it is helping me make real and fundamental changes to how I live day to day. I highly recommend it!』 『This book will teach you a simple series of yoga postures along with tools to examine and modify your eating patterns.

(From Drama to Yoga) 『This book has been a true inspiration as a mother, drama teacher, and storyteller. It blends movement with story in such a gentle and touching way, and has now helped me to create a whole new approach to warm-up exercises in drama classes with children aged 3-10. More and more teachers and parents are understanding the benefits of using yoga in classes and at home, but many people say it is hard to get children to focus on the poses for long enough. When reading this book, I thought, "of course, as a storyteller, why had I not thought of this?! Tell a story as you incorporate the poses!!" The illustrations are beautiful, and the story-poems divine. If you are a parent or a teacher, this book is a must if you would like to nourish the imagination and body.』
(Medical Doctor's Book Review) 『I am eager to recommend this superbly illustrated and explanatory book of yoga for children. It will fill a much needed place, both for medical practitioners who are now turning to prevent medicine and holistic health care and to the general public.

A section of guidelines for parents will help them explore Hatha Yoga with their child through the beautiful natural imagery in this wonderful book.』

(worth having) 『So, I have to admit...when I picked this book up, it was to giggle a bit at the photos. But when I started to peruse the recipes, I realized I had to have the book. If you are vegetarian (or, like me, just don't eat a ton of meat), you likely already keep most of the ingredients as staples and buy the rest on a fairly regular basis. Perhaps you will even find something you always wanted to try, but never knew how to make edible--mine was quinoa. The recipies are diverse, creative, and easy to prepare (there is a "Special Occasions" section for time or labor intensive foods). Best of all, everything actually works! Several of the recipes have become standards for me, and every time I flip through I find something else I want to try. And, yes, I still occasionaly find myself laughing at the pictures.』
(My New Favorite Cookbook) 『As a relatively new vegetarian, I have recently purchased many cookbooks. This one has become my favorite by far! I have tried recipes from all different sections, from appetizers to salads to main course and all but one have been delicious. As the only vegetarian in my household, I appreciate the recipes with fewer servings. Who would have thought that my non-vegetarian family would love Roasted Vegetable (Tofu) Quesadillas?!』
(Simply delicious!) 『I am extremely pleased with this book. A yoga instructor told me to check it out and I decided to buy it after reading the other review here. The recipes are well written and there is a lot of variey as well. So far, I have made the Louisiana Gumbo and the Southern Style Gravy with Sesame Biscuits - and both turned out amazing! I like the menu suggestions in the back and am anxious to try more of the recipes. If everything continues to turn out like the previous recipes, I may have a favorite new cookbook!』

IPhone 3G used's review (Wonderful inspiration) 『This is a fantastic reference book on American Yoga Masters. The life stories are wonderful and have the space in a book (rather than magazine) format to be fairly detailed. It was a relief to read so many had such eclectic paths to yoga. The only one I missed was one of the ones I started with, Richard Hittleman.
The asanas that accompany the text are detailed and understandable, with all of the appropriate precautions and prop placements.
I appreciated the candor in this book with reference to the teachers that these people have studied with. Many have gone on to start their own "branch" (for lack of a better word), and some have remained with the more traditional styles. Both are well-explained, and I appreciate the inclusion of both paths in the book as everyone is different.
I think this book would be helpful to anyone who is studying or teaching yoga. I began teaching at two local gyms after taking a foundation beginners teachers class. I was a massage therapist for 13 years so I feel that experience helps and a long ago, not adequately maintained, yoga practice. I have almost quit several times but I found a quote about Lilas Folan that has kept me involved. She stated somewhere that she had been taking lessons for about a year at the YWCA when the teacher left and turned the classes over to her. She confided in a friend that she didn't think that she could do it. The point her friend made was that when the whole class is blind they don't notice that the teacher only has one eye. I know some purists would cringe at that but I believe that yoga is so important that almost any way you can initially reach people is worth it.
I also would like to thank the teachers that are putting out audio CD's of classes, pranayama, etc. These are gems. I have recommended them to my students and monthly use one in class so that they develop a feel for a "real" yoga class. They are very much appreciated in areas where there might not be many studios. I love them.

In stock soon. Order now to get in line. First come, first served. IPhone 3G used's review (A Great Way to Start Your Day) 『A Morning Cup of Yoga is a delightful little yoga book I turn to again and again, give to friends, and suggest to new yoga students. This 80-page spiral-bound, beautifully illustrated book details a 15-minute yoga routine designed for you to do in the kitchen, where a chair and counter are the only equipment required. All poses are done either standing or sitting so you don't even need a yoga mat. It is a great introduction to yoga for those who may be overwhelmed by the idea of going to a public class or think that yoga is too difficult. A Morning Cup of Yoga helps dispel these common misconceptions in a simple straightforward lighthearted way providing exercises that can be done by those of most any age and ability.
I continue to be amazed at how much better my day unfolds when I begin it with this simple, basic yoga sequence. The author manages to touch on all the body parts needing attention from neck to toes, leaving me feeling stretched, strengthened, balanced, and energized. It is a positive way to start the day even if you don't like to exercise.
It is best to fully familiarize yourself with the poses using the book before attempting to incorporate the accompanying CD, that while pleasant, is a bit too briskly paced for those not fully acquainted with poses.
In addition to the short routine, the author provides a "Sip of the Sutras," a concise introduction to the eight-limbed philosophy of yoga and guidance for beginning meditation if you are so inclined.
This book reinforces the belief my favorite yoga teacher espouses and I have come to share - a little yoga done often is better than a lot of yoga done infrequently. If you are looking for an easy way to establish a yoga routine at home and have little time to invest, A Morning Cup of Yoga offers an inviting accessible way to get started.』
(Just Get it) 『Been doing this for many years. Its simple, manageable, easy to follow and live with and I highly recommend it for people who go to 2-3 classes a week and want a home practice, or someone who just wants to do a simple home practice. 100% of my days are improved when I start the day with this energizing routine.』
(Wonderful Book and CD!) 『I have spent lots of money on yoga books, DVD's, and classes, but I must say that this delightful little book provides the best value of any of them! No, it's not in-depth yoga postures or philosophy, but I found that the text helped me to reconnect with the reasons I became interested in yoga in the first place, and the CD is just great -- short, simple, and to the point. As another reviewer has pointed out, this is a routine that you will actually do. An great way to start your day, and well worth every penny!』
(Better than a relaxing morning cup of Tea!) 『This short routine has done wonders for my back. I have done it every day for 2 months now. Sometimes I do it during the day at work to help stretch and loosen up muscles from sitting at a desk. Sometimes I do it at night before bed to help me sleep.
It does wonders in the morning to get all the kinks out, and it is also amazing how such simple exercises can strengthen your muscles.
It has different variations on certain exercises to make them easier or harder.
It is exactly what it promises to be!』
(Simply ...worth every penny!) 『Have used this book and audio CD for years now. It was a great investment - it is simple enough that you will utilize what it teaches frequently. You can fill in with more yoga should you want to - but with this you know you have done a simple overall body workout. Whether you want to do it on your own by looking at the images ( I scanned the image of all the moves in the back of the book - enlarged it and had it laminated) or listen to the gentle voice that takes you through the progression of each move (add it to your ipod) - either or both will work for you at home or if you travel and want to take it with you.』 『Whether you're a novice or expert yoga practitioner, this accessible little book offers up 23 morning stretches to improve your health and well-being in just 14 minutes a day. Do them right in your kitchen with no more equipment than a chair and the countertop. While the kettle is boiling, the dog is being let out, or the kids are getting ready for school, you can begin to feel better and look better for life. Over 100,000 copies in print!』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Not impressed) 『I was dissappointed in the book, I already know some basic Yoga and was looking for something geared specifically towards the golfer. Instead the book took regular yoga poses, which you learn in any basic yoga class, and applied them to golf. Now there is nothing inherently wrong with that - its just that I expected something really focused on golfers - maybe my expectations were too high? I would recommend this book to people who have no concept of Yoga and need some flexibility and general physical conditioning improvement. However if you are an active person and have the possibility of attending Yoga classes then do that instead. You will learn everything this book has in the first class ...』
(Must Have!) 『If you're a golfer, you got to have this!
I've used the techniques described in the book and it works! I'm golfing better than I have in 20 years!
Highly recommended!』
(Two Thumbs Up!) 『I bought this book as a gift for my Grandpa and Dad they loved it - both say it knocked a few strokes off their game!』
(Different approach) 『What a great concept - using Yoga to improve golf. The poses are well illustrated and easy to understand. I am not sure of how it will affect my golfing yet - I may come back on that.』
(GREAT BOOK) 『I think this book is great. Helps with my performance tremendously. A must have for any golfer!!!』 『Relates specific selected yoga techniques to golf from the perspectives of physical and mental focus. Using easy to read, non-technical descriptions, illustrations and photographs. Douglas Mochrie, a Class "A" teaching golf pro has endorsed the book: saying "Hit your...ball farther. Enjoy golf more!...Learn how yoga can improve your game. The pictures clearly illustrate examples of the body positions and motions that correlate well with swings, chips, and putts."』
