About the author
Gabrielle Raiz
4 books1 followerGabrielle Raiz is an author, a keen foodie and health-loving educator who perhaps surprisingly started her working life as a dentist. She has a knack for making things practical and understandable and has a flexible approach to her food and her yoga.
Gabrielle has recently expanded her food writing to publish 2 top selling books "Green Smoothie Magic" and "132+ Delicious Salads, Dressings and Dips". All of her recipes are fuss-free adaptable recipes which most importantly use easy to find ingredients that anyone can make. Some embody beautiful simplicity of 1 or 2 ingredients while others are marvellously complex, but never hard to make!
Gabrielle's talent as an author was crystallized through much online writing and of course with the publishing of her highly successful first book: "Hot Yoga MasterClass" (which is now finally, recently available on Amazon).
Her hallmark style has an easy, intelligent and conversational tone with a touch of humor!
In both her currently chosen fields (!) of nutrition and yoga she has built a solid reputation for creating products of beauty and above all, quality. "What you eat and how you move are 2 fields in which being mindful and present are vital", Gabrielle says. "I love that I help people do both!"
As the "Hot Yoga Doctor" she helps tens of thousands of people every month in every corner of the planet improve their yoga practices by demystifying all things yoga, hot yoga and Bikram Yoga™.
Something you may not know about Gabrielle (and rather unusual for a yoga instructor) is that she used to race motorcycles! But as she's been known to say "the last time I rode a motorbike was to go and buy a pregnancy testing kit". Her daughter is now 10!

This book is the next best step, after the 2 basic primers we all used, for improving the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises in the hot yoga classes like Bikram's or much of Ghosh Yoga.
Gabriella Raiz explores more detail for each of the postures so you can really extend your practice. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced. She gives a step by step for all the postures and talks about issues and dealing with them. So if you're that yoga geek and love hot yoga and just love reading pages and pages about Ardha Chandrasana, this book is for you.
The photographs and models supplement the text well. Even if it takes you back a few decades they support the text well.

Great beginner information on hot yoga and Bikram. I’m not a huge fan of Bikram, 105 with 40% humidity is too much fir me. This is a good book to combine some Bikram asanas in a hot yoga class.
