2,100 Asanas: The Complete Yoga Poses

I love it. I have had this book now for about ten minutes, and it's great. I read the revues, and was uncertain, but for variation of poses, sheer range of poses, beautiful windswept vogueing, and accessibility, it's everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Obviously, do not expect to buy this book and perform positions that take daily dedication immediately, but if you know that, then you are going to find this book incredibly useful. Take it one step at a time, and use common sense. Also has a brief introduction with useful lists of poses to avoid for medical conditions, as well as a bit of Yoga philosophy. I think anyone who has gathered 2,100 Asanas into one place, and then got enough talented yogis to demonstrate them perfectly should be thanked. If anything I wish the pictures were a page each. but that would hurt by back. Love it. Masterful

I couldn’t be happier with this big delightful chunk of book! The information, layout, variety and the presentation is all bang on. It’s already aiding my own yoga flows and will defiantly be a useful tool when it comes preparing future classes!

I LOVE this book, it is all about asanas, if you are looking for a book on flows, history of yoga, mudras etc then you are buying the wrong book, I collect Yoga books and this is easily the best book on asanas I have. I love that each pose is clearly photographed, gives the English and Sanskrit name and also dristhis. If you are offended by the ladies demonstrating the poses? Then try and find a book of asanas done with line drawings. This is not a book of titilation, it is a book demonstrating the beautiful art and science of Yoga. Enjoy, Namaste xx

This is a fantastic book, mainly for experts of Yoga beyond intermediate skills. However, in some cases the final pose bears little resemblance to the starting pose it originated from. If you are super flexible, and can balance on an eyelash with your toe in your ear; this is for you. You have to really look for intermediate poses, plus there aren't photos showing beginning/middle and final poses. Lastly, all the students are ridiculously flexible and look gorgeous! No real lumpy people allowed.

This is the biggest yoga book I've ever seen, with so many different stretches and postures. I'll be trying them out and seeing which benefit me the most. I know some will find such a heavy book bothersome to work with during stretching, but I find it easier to copy and print out the pages that I prefer, so that I'm not always pulling out the book every yoga session. It's a great book for body reference and for someone that likes to study anatomy and muscle placement.

Excellent book.. I'm so happy with it. Arrived fast and in great condition.

The photos are great. The consistently in photographic quality is to be applauded. Kind of get the feeling tho that these pictures should be printed large and shown in an art gallery and the book an accompaniment to that. If you’re 25, in great shape, have been doing yoga for years, maybe have a history in gymnastics, these poses might be for you. But having done a teacher training course and been doing in person yoga classes 5/6 days a week in various parts of the country I can assure you, 99% of practitioners won’t be doing these poses. The poses themselves need a lot of warming up for, even if you’re in peak physical condition. It’s not a book for beginners that’s for sure, and a lot of the poses shouldn’t be attempted at home if you haven’t prepped the body correctly for that particular pose.

Great book and collection of postures and their multiple variations.

Esse livro foi muito bem produzido. O conteúdo é bem claro e as imagens excelentes. Direto ao ponto e muito completo.

Il libro è tutto illustrato da fotografie favolose di asanas eseguite da bellissime ragazze dai corpi scolpiti. Le spiegazioni sono stringate ma il libro è un paradiso per gli occhi. Altissima qualità della carta e della stampa. L'introduzione è breve, se volete un manuale più esplicativo ve ne sono di più adatti a quello scopo. Ma vale la pena comprare questo libro, anche solo per lustrarsi la vista ed anche per trovare posizioni diverse e alternative alle solite già conosciute (sono 2100 fotografate!!!!!) In definitiva se avete già altri manuali di base compratelo: è bellissimo.

Je pratique depuis plusieurs années le yoga, ce livre est un vrai recueil de positions mais surtout des variantes des différentes poses. Attention pour les novices je le déconseille il n'y a que très peu d'explications sur les zones de tensions / travail, il n'y a pas n'on plus de pas-à-pas pour les transition de poses. Ce n'est pas un guide ! mais un recueil permettant de personnalisé mes séances. C'est ce que je recherchais: très dépouillé avec de bonnes photos et une multitude de petites variantes. Les postures sont classés par type (debout, assis, équilibre etc..). C'est dans un anglais simple et direct.

Llegó super rápido. Un libro muy grande y bastante pesado. Muy buena calidad de papel, tapa y fotos. El libro contiene las bases teóricas de yoga y un montón de fotos con las cortas descripciones. No es para el principiante de yoga pero una persona que quiera tener todo en el mismo lugar como referencia

Muy buen libro, excelente calidad fotográfica. Muy buenas progresiones para preparar posturas más complejas y buenas explicaciones del autor. Me encanta y sirve muy bien para cuando buscas más creatividad. Super recomendado!
