Godfrey's books

[Guest guest]

I've been meaning to post on this for awhile. I

read about Godfrey Devereux's new book, 15-Minute Yoga

- Yoga for a Busy World, on this forum a ways back

and ordered it right away. I've been getting tons of

yoga books lately and this has been my favorite one.

It is not strictly an Ashtanga book and it is aimed

at beginners but it is a really cool book for anyone

practicing yoga. Its about 200 pages and about half of it

lays out the 15-minute routines, each consisting of

just a few postures. This part may not be of interest

to most Ashtanga practicioners. But the rest of the

book is full of detailed and general information on

yoga practice presented very clearly. It wouldn't take

long to read it but much of it is worth reading over

and over. This book is very inspiring and has helped

me with some difficult questions. His previous book,

Dynamic Yoga, is a deeper study of asana practice. It is

one of the best books on Ashtanga yoga, although not

strictly an Ashtanga manual. He also has an older book

called Elements of Yoga. I didn't get around to looking

at it for awhile, since I figured it was

"superceded" by Dynamic Yoga. I finally started reading it and

this is a totally different book. Rather than a

practice manual, it is a general overview of the whole

subject of yoga, which is good to have, since yoga is a

vast and sometimes confusing subject. Anyway, I highly

recommend all of Godfrey's books and wanted to specifically

call attention to the new book. All of his books are

available from Amazon.com if you don't find them in stores.

(Thanks for the books, Godfrey, and thanks for hanging

out here too).
