This book is hilarious and awesome. It's a legit yoga how-to book, but the 60's-era pictures are the best part. I've been practicing yoga for so long that I've forgotten what some of the poses are supposed to help, so it was interesting to re-learn all of that, plus see pictures of the correct way to do the pose.

Solid guide to yoga and holy cow this book was written way earlier than I thought.
