As I was reading this book, I found I was agreeing with much of it and was open-minded to all of it, even though I actually wanted to reject some of what is written. The practices are equally subtle and practical. The overall philosophy of Peter Blackaby's system makes a great deal of sense, even though it challenges quite a lot of traditional form and method. It is a good antidote to some yoga practices that have developed a reputation for potentially causing injury. 'Intelligent Yoga' is an engaging read and I'd recommend it to both teachers and students. My only complaint is with the e-book version, a few of the photos are chopped in half, with the top half at the bottom of one page and the bottom half at the top of the next page.

A really good book exploring how we map our bodies to maintain and increase functional movement. A real joy to read

A modern take on yoga. Pretty good explanation of the benefits of yoga both physically and mentally without relying on ancient texts.

Practical and inspiring

After doing my teacher training I’ve been searching for a way of slowing my Asana practice so my students understand what is happening in their bodies without getting bored. This book has given me the skills to do this.
