『A step-by-step guide to yoga--stretching, breathing, and postures--in the proven Alpha Teach Yourself format. Readers can work through the process at their own pace, in comfortable one-hour chapters. Yoga lends itself particularly well to the Alpha Teach Yourself format because there is a logical progression of complexity in material to be learned; each hour builds on the hours that have come before. The first hours deal with stretching, relaxation, and breathing and then move forward to basic bends, twists, and postures, sitting positions, deepening your practice by adding meditation and visualizations, cleansing routines, and creating a yoga lifestyle. While designed as an introductory course to yoga, intermediate and advanced postures are also included to help readers build a complete yoga routine.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Introducing Teens to Yoga) 『Helen Purperhart's introduction to yoga for teens provides an excellent overview of the positive impact yoga can have on young minds and bodies, whether in relieving stress and tension or in allowing teens a supportive space for self-exploration. With several introductory pages on the history of yoga and on the ways in which yoga can be introduced to teens, this title not only presents dozens of poses and exercises geared towards disparate skill levels and with different group sizes, but also offers a more rounded approach to yoga - yoga not only as physical strengthening and increasing flexibility, but yoga as a playful practice of aligning stability in mind and body.
Nevertheless, the book never makes clear (either in its title, introductory information, or exercise segments) whether the title is aimed strictly at those who teach (or want to teach) yoga to teens or for the teens themselves. The introductory information provides a broader context to yoga, but this approach to yogic practice as a disciplining of body and mind is not extended throughout the text uniformly, making the text seem slightly disjointed. Furthermore, although the introduction acknowledges that when the illustrations seem misleading or require further explanation to rely on the textual descriptions, often the text does not provide as much information as might be required to safely move between positions or to move into or out of particular poses.
Despite these problems, however, Purperhart's title provides a concise and informative guide. 』 『
Yoga provides not only an excellent, low-impact workout, it also helps young people in key areas such as body awareness, flexibility, concentration, stress reduction, and self-expression. The exercises and games in this easy-to-follow guide are specifically designed to fit the needs of teenagers and to show teens how to work out and train their bodies in a relaxed way. It requires no advance knowledge or preparation and can be used by anyone working with teens between the ages of 10 and 20. The exercises are divided into static postures, dynamic postures, and exercises in pairs. There are also visualization and meditation exercises based on the four elements of nature as well as an introduction to the basics of yoga philosophy. The book can be used with large and small groups or as part of a parent-teen activity. Practicing yoga together is a perfect opportunity for parents and teens to exercise, talk, and spend time together in a healthy, positive manner.

IPhone 3G used's review (Rare and comprehensive analysis of the authentic Kriya Yoga by a true Guru) 『Kriya Yoga is a sacred Yogic science that powerfully awakens a seeker's spiritual energy field and traditionally can only be revealed by a true Guru or through a designated teacher. "Kriya Yoga", by the great master, HH Paramahamsa Hariharananda is a rare gem as it describes in fine detail the science, history, tradition, and inner experience of the authentic Kriya Yoga science as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sriyukteshwarji, and Paramahamsa Hariharananda.
Do not be mistaken. This book does not reveal the techniques at all, but rather describes the power, the benefits, and the experiences of Kriya. Just through reading a book, you can't really practice a technique like Kriya. It contains many interesting and revealing diagrams which I have not seen anywhere else, many of which discuss how the chakras are affected by the Kriya technique.
Paramahamsa Hariharananda, who left his body in December, 2002 was a realized master and direct disciple of Swami Sriyukteshwarji, Paramahamsa Yogananda, and Swami Satyananda. He was a resident and acharya of the Karar Ashram of Swami Sriyukteshwarji for over 40 years. He is well known for having attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the supreme stage of yogic conciousness. He was a world teacher in both the East and West, yet remained extremely humble. He was the president of the Karar Ashram, the Kriya Yoga Institute (USA) as well as Kriya Yoga organizations in Europe.
This is a great book which describes a great deal about the benefits and power of Kriya. Don't think that you can attain realization just by reading it, one should practice a technique. Instead, it provides an excellent introduction for the novice and will prove especially interesting for those who enjoyed "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahamsa Yogananda』 『Discusses the scientifically proven benefits of Kriya Yoga. This book describes spiritual transformation, including experiences that one may encounter during whilst practising.』

Comprehensively exploring the theoretics and ideologies of progressive introspection, and through Yoga, the finding of one's inner-most self, The Four Yogas recognizes the both the artistic and the philosophical approach to Yoga and provides readers with a plethora of informative commentaries drawn from Karma Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Raja-Yoga, and Jnana-Yoga. The Four Yogas is very strongly recommended to all readers with an interest in the Hindu religion and wishing to explore a more Yoga-oriented aspect of their spiritual development and practice. 』 『The philosophy of Yoga tells us that the root cause of our sorrows and suffering is loss of contact with our true Self. Our recovery is only possible by reestablishing contact with our innermost Self, the Reality of all realities, and by recognizing that knowledge of Self is our salvation.
In this comprehensive guide, Swami Adiswarananda introduces the four spiritual paths of yoga--Karma-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Raja-Yoga and Jnana-Yoga--and what you can expect as an aspirant on each path. Covering the message and practice of each of the yogas as well as philosophy and psychology, preparatory practices, common obstacles and ways to overcome them, this accessible book will prove invaluable to anyone wishing to follow a yoga practice in order to realize the goal of Self-knowledge.』

In these discourses, Osho paints a totally different picture of Yoga than we know in the West. According to Osho, Yoga -- the Science of the Soul -- is no about twisting the body into strange-looking positions. It's about help for anyone interested in embarking on the most miraculous journey of scientific discovery ever: man's effort to move from his circumference to his center, to travel from his body inwards to his soul. This program offers a new brand of science, the science of attaining one's soul.These remarkable discourses are original, live recordings made during Osho's extemporaneous daily talks to audiences of disciples and visitors at his meditation retreat in Poona, India. His talks were, and continue to be, central to his work as a mystic trying to find ways to share his experience. And as you listen to this great teacher,you, too, will enter a state of meditative awareness that will bring you to a new understanding of the wonders of your body, its chakras and the vibrant energies that pulse within you.

Just like the other reviews say,recipes are easily laid out,simple,and ingredients are easy to get; or you may have them in your pantry already. Plus,it's got a little of everything-not just indian recipes...something from each region,and appetizers,breakfasts,etc.
You could easily add meat to the recipes if you are not vegetarian. But definitely get this book-you will not be disappointed. My dad copied the recipe for Morrocan stew and added meat to his.
I have given this book countless times,as a gift. It's just beautiful. If you are a seasoned cook,you will find inspiration and appreciate the simple elegance of the recipes. If you are trying to increase your kitchen know-how,you will find this book accessible and do-able. If you have children,they will likely enjoy many of these recipes. My child does! Get this book,and enjoy!』
(One of the Best!) 『Of all the vegetarian cookbooks I've come across, this one is among the best. I've tried other cookbooks such as Moosewood and was never satisfied. This book actually has entrees that aren't just a collection of Middle Eastern dishes. They are original, yet simple and easy to follow and don't require a trip to specialty stores for that one ingredient you've never heard of. The dishes that I've prepared from this book have been enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, so if you're family is divided on such issues, have no fear.』
(Not a single bad recipe in the book!) 『This is my all time favorite cookbook. Anyone can use it and get terrific results. It's laid out in a very organized fashion making it easy to read and follow. My favorite recipes? Ashram lentil soup, and the Zucchini Pinenut Tamales!!』
(This is the best cookbook I have ever owned!!!) 『I own about 45 Vegan and Vegetarian cookbooks and this one is the best! Head and shoulders above the rest. It's recipes are easy to make. They are also incredibly delicious and nutritious! No need to sacrifice taste for good health when you have this gem in your library. The Indian breakfast cereal is now a staple in our house. If you don't own this book do yourself a favor and purchase it. You won't be sorry!』
(EXEMPLARY COOKBOOK) 『EASILY READ,EASY TO USE!』 『Let Shoshoni's two master cooks, Faith Stone and Anne Saks, guide you in creating that nourishing atmosphere that turns good food into great food.
