The Language of Yoga: Complete A to Y Guide to Asana Names, Sanskrit Terms, and Chants

A great way to learn and maybe more importantly, hear the yoga Sanskrit terms the correct way. The CDs and book are both organized in a way that makes it easy to navigate and pick out what pertains to you specifically.

I have found this book very useful, informative and easy to use. I have found it a great aid in my yoga studies.

Easy to read, easy to understand. I couldn't put this book down.
If you have an interest in yoga and would like to know and understand the Asana Names.... you should get this.
I am not a yoga teacher, but I would also like to recomend this to anybody who does teach yoga. If for no other reason so you can say the worrds correctly and aslo be able to answer questions from students (like myself) who wish to know the what and why of asanas and chants.

I can't believe I have never reviewed this before! I've been a yoga teacher for - oh yikes, way too long to admit to but until I listened to the CDs that come with this book, I had been pronouncing things incorrectly. I guess my teachers learned the wrong pronounciation from others who didn't know...and on it goes. But my students know the difference now; hopefully, they will pass it on as some of them become teachers.
I've also used the book for tattoos. Just enlarge the writing for the artist...perfect.
