good starter book. Not as heavy as "light on Yoga" not a light a "yoga for dummies".... it was a nice jumping off place for me.

الكتاب اشبه بمرجع ثقافي وتاريخى لليوجا .. يشرح تاريخها وبدايتها ومراحلها واستخداماتها العلاجية وانتشارها على مستوى العالم ووضعياتها لكنه على المستوى العملى صعب التطبيق ان لم يكن مستحيلا .. يعتبر خطوة اولى لاحتراف ممارسة اليوجا لكن للشخص العادى الباحث عن السلام الداخلى او التحكم في بعض المشاعر السلبيه غير ذي فائدة تقريبا

اليوجا هى التوازن :)
ولكن للاسف هى ممارسة وليست قراءة
الكتاب جيد ولكن على المستوى العملى هو صعب التطبيق لابد من حضور دروس اليوجا لا القراءة عنها لكى نتعلمها
