Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Men DO cry...and can do Yoga) 『I think that since times are a changing, also is the attitude towards Yogi, or men that do Yoga. For centuries allowed only to men in India, I would think of someone as a retrograde if they came up to me and told me that Yoga is only for women, lossing weight or "less than men". Yoga is for everybody, even the thoughest dudes and this is proven in this book. Filled with explanations and reasons why Yoga is good, even if you're a pumped up weightlifter, Yoga for men introduces an ancient discipline to the average western men. A complete book, Yoga for men explains the origin of the practice, the 8 limbs of Raja Yoga (Yoga is not only twisting and bending) and the many schools of yoga today an their benefits, from Kundalini to Phoenix Rising. The author then proceeds to lay out a simple routine to pracitce, based on the Sun Salutation. Next, he explains how Yoga can help men in their Health, Sex life and everyday living. Finally, som supplements, Internet resources, Yogic diet, address and phones of Yoga Studios complete this great introduction to you. If, like some reviewer here you are only looking for stretches, this is not the book for you. If you feel the need for something else in your life besides money, women and sports, give this one a try, it might surprise you.-』
(Good reference book - a bit light on yoga practice however) 『This is an unusual book, in that about half of it is a reference book that describes various types of yoga in terms of their history and style. One reviewer calls this "mumbo jumbo" but it is well written and possibly of interest if you want a better understanding of how yoga has developed and what the various forms of yoga are. The book also includes annotated references to most of its chapters, so it is possible to follow up and learn more about topics of interest -- many website addresses are included.
The other half (or so) of the book is, however, a very good guide to the "how to" of yoga, with pictures and very good text describing various yoga postures. There are all of the elements of a full yoga practice, along with sections on special topics such as yoga for those with back trouble, yoga for athletes, and yoga for men of different ages.
This is a good book, but a bit different from you standard "how to do yoga" book that has a few pages up front describing history and styles of yoga. This may not be the first or only book you read about yoga, but it is a very good book if you want to learn more about yoga or are specifically care about topics of interest to men.』
(Mumbo jumbo) 『I saw the author in the magazine Yoga for Everybody was inpressed by the article. The book had to be just as good? NO. I was looking for yoga to stretch and exercise and instead got more religion and philosophy. If your into the yoga as a religous or spiritual quest, this is a good book for you. If you want to learn how to become more toned and limber there are much better books out there. Yoga for men? No. Yoga for New Age Mr. Poneytail types. Yes.』
(Yoga for Men) 『I have done yoga for several years. I've been trying to get my boyfriend to try it, too, because I'm sure he would benefit from it. I've been looking for a way to encourage him to do it, and then I saw a copy of Thomas Claire's Yoga for Men. It's the first book I've seen that presents the whole spectrum of yoga especially for men. I bought a copy and gave it to my boyfriend as a gift. It really helped him to understand what yoga is all about, and even got him to start practicing yoga. He especially appreciated the clear, easy-to-understand approach of the book, and told me that it contains everything a man needs to know about yoga. I've also found lots of useful information in Yoga for Men about the various approaches to yoga and yoga resources. I highly recommend this book』

The instrumentation is authentic and the emotion put forth is sincere and deeply felt. Although not as ecstatic as some expressions of Kirtan, this production has a sweet and loving sound. The production team has taken care of keeping Vaishnava traditional values guarded with traditional sounds. It is a good blend of quality and devotional music; polished yet true. The booklet's text supports sincerely what the music is intended to do: sing to God and the avatars. Track # 3 is particularly moving. The Yoga of Sound: Kirtans from the Sacred Forest』 『
One of the oldest sacred music tradtions in the world,kirtancall-and-response chanting originated in India. Consisting of ancient Sanskrit mantras that are sung, the kirtan calls forth deep spiritual energies that quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and allow us to return to the center of our being. In this book-and-CD combination, acclaimed singer Agni Deva offers an evocative interpretation of the kirtans from various sacred songs and Patrick Bernard’s book, richly illustrated with color images of deities and holy sites, provides dazzling devotional poetry, didactic tales, and guides to both meditation and spiritual enlightenment.

Chapters explore how to prepare for the expansions of one's mental state, awakening to vital consciousness, the transformation of one's mind, being aware of karma, and much more. An accompanying audio CD walks the reader through simple meditation techniques. An excellent "get-started" guide to yoga for self-transformation. 』
(A fascinating exploration of the nature of our conscious experience) 『What a wonderful journey this book takes you on in its exploration of the nature of our conscious experience from both scientific and spiritual perspectives. Salmon and Maslow draw on the latest findings of scientific research as well as a wide variety of yogic sources, focusing in particular on Sri Aurobindo's multi-dimensional yogic vision. The authors present a fascinating summary of the scientific findings regarding how consciousness emerged over the course of evolution, how it develops in each of us from infancy to adulthood, and how it unfolds in every moment of our lives. They then use those scientific findings to challenge and delve into, in a way I found very eye-opening, the essence of how we experience the world in each moment. While honoring scientific research, they go on to challenge what we mistakenly take to be scientific fact - the view that consciousness is merely an accidental by-product of dead, non-conscious matter.
Particularly eye-opening for me are the deeply intelligent descriptions that bring rich new dimensions to familiar concepts such as karma, rebirth, ego, and soul. The authors also make beautiful sense, in a way I haven't quite seen before, of the purpose of life even in the face of deepest suffering, of our collective purpose and potential even in the face of a world that seems to be falling apart. But this book gives so much more than just wonderful explanations. Through vivid well-chosen examples and through the ongoing recounting of a particular individual's moving life story, it actually evokes the deep and vast dimensions of consciousness that it describes. The CD which comes with the book also does a brilliant job of making the radical and inspiring vision of yoga psychology accessible to our experience. In their own gentle voices, Salmon and Maslow guide us through effective basic meditation practices, and a series of provocative and evocative contmplative exercises. Salmon's sensitively composed and performed music which accompanies the entire CD helps to powerfully create in the listener a deeper experience of oneself and the world.』 『This unique volume takes readers on a journey through the evolution of consciousness that encompasses a billion years of terrestrial history.It does so from an explicitly spiritual perspective, yet does not conflict with scientific findings. In lucid and engaging detail, it explores how every thought, every feeling, and every breath we take is an expression of a hidden 'Divine Consciousness'. It helps us to see and understand, from a spiritual perspective, our flaws and limitations as well as our potential.With the aid of a free CD containing various breathing and contemplation exercises, and reflective meditations, it shows us how we can awaken to the Divine presence within us and allow it to transform us as individuals and a society.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Lovely way to stretch) 『Stephen Cope talks you through a series of poses that are a combination of stretching, relaxing, and strengthening your muscles. The background music is perfect. The kit comes with photos so one can look at the pictures to make sure you are doing the poses correctly. It takes 70 minutes to go through the routine and it is a wonderful way to close the day. You can do your yoga at home and not have to go to a class to practice. I love it!』 『This is the perfect yoga kit - it includes a book, CDs, and flash cards. Whether you're just starting or you've yoga'd for years, there's something for everyone.
