My 5-star on this book comes from a personal appraisal of what I expected and what I found in the book.

It is not the perfect guide and it will not have the answers to all the questions one might have about yoga and meditation, but as its title states it is an introduction to these terms for people who never really examined them closely.

This book will be a good introduction to my journey into self-awareness and self-discovery.

Excellent for beginners. I feel as if a couple of sections should not have been included as they are redundant.

Too much to weed through. I know it says, 5 books in 1, and they mean it. LOL

I usually enjoy reading the For Dummies books as they offer really good basic information about a topic. So, when I found this Yoga resource for dummies, I just had to read it as part of my quest to read as much about Yoga as possible. This book has six different Yoga books inside, there's a basic Yoga, Power Yoga, Yoga with Weights, Meditation, Stretching and Mind-Body Fitness. So there's a lot of information contained within this handy compendium.

Now, I know that the For Dummies books often have very basic information but I was disappointed with just how basic the information was. By the point of my reading this book I had been practicing Yoga for a couple of months and had already read two other books. I felt like the information in this book was a little too basic. Especially when it came to the poses. So, it would give the names of traditional poses but then it would give an even more modified version than teachers tended to give beginners. I didn't really understand why but I am no expert. I just thought that was a little odd.

I guess I just didn't particularly enjoy this book because I found it far too simplified. That being said, the meditation section was actually pretty good. There are also some very handy pictures of people in the poses and if you're learning a pose through reading, good pictures are always helpful.

I think this book is probably best for those who know absolutely nothing whatsoever about Yoga as it really is only the very basic stuff.
