Highly suggest for every Yoga Teacher
Great book to help mix up your cueing and bring awareness to potential injuries in flexible and less flexible students.

Excellent book for all yoga teachers. I am in the process of yoga teacher training. This book had such excellent cues for modifications. Super helpful when creating my first sequence that allowed space for all levels of yoga. Highly recommend for all yoga teachers at any level.

The first positive of this book is that the author, Ms. Hewes, has legitimate credentials.
I disagree with Ms. Hewes's cues to rise and lower "one vertebrae at a time," as this can cause more pain in people who have back pain. I prefer to allow students options to roll up/down or to hinge at the hips, keeping the spine straight.
I really love the foot exercises section!
I find a lot of Ms. Hewes's advice helpful. As a visual learner, I do wish there were more photographs of the concepts, so I can see the correct and incorrect alignment. I feel like some of her cueing is vague and confusing. For example, when she says to "tone" the thighs, and she means "internally rotate the thighs," this can confuse students.
Most of the photographs are beautiful and easy to read. There are some photos that are a little difficult to read, when a person wears dark clothing. The underexposure in these images (there are only two or three in the book) makes the details difficult to distinguish in the dark areas.
I appreciate the section on hip alignment, but I find the cueing here confusing.
There are grammatical errors throughout, which I guess is what you get when your "editor" is also a yoga teacher, and not actually an editor. The author mixes singulars and plurals throughout the book, which is an elementary mistake. On page 95, the word, "they" is meant for the word "the," and on page 106, a photo caption speaks of the "public bone."
Other than those few complaints, this book has a lot of wonderful information. I will add it to my yoga book collection to use in my own teachings.
