Everyday Yoga: At-Home Routines to Enhance Fitness, Build Strength, and Restore Your Body

As several reviewers have noted, this is a book about which yoga asanas to do, not a book about how to do yoga. It assumes that the reader has some prior knowledge of yoga. If you already have that knowledge, you might wonder how this book can benefit you. The choices of which asanas to do and the sequence in which you do them often make a difference in the quality of your practice experience. Some combinations of asanas result in an “Ah Ha” experience in which you find yourself gaining what we can call neuromuscular insight. You learn things about your body and the way you are functioning that you just can’t learn any other way. If you have ever had the good fortune to train with a gifted teacher, you may have experienced this. After three months of working these sequences into my personal practice a few times a week, I have had several pleasant “Ah Ha” experiences. If you incorporate the information in this book into your practice, you may have some of these experiences too. Full Disclosure: I am both a former and possibly a future student of the author.

I love this book. It's spiral bound, which is perfect for use during your yoga practice. I'm also an instructor and this gives me new ideas for my classes. The author also refers to modifications as "sweeter" and "spicier" instead of beginner and advanced, which I appreciate, since some students feel like they're failing by taking a less difficult modification. It's well written and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a basic understanding of yoga already, since it doesn't break down individual poses - you're expected to already know most of them. This is a great book for sequencing and improving your home practice.

Not long ago I tried some yoga classes at my local gym. Although the classes were advertised as basic level, I was lost and struggling. Some of it was the lingo - if you don't know what the poses are called, it's hard to easily transition into the next thing with the class and keep up. Some of it was not yet being strong/flexible/balanced enough to carry off some of even the basic poses. I ordered this book to help supplement my knowledge, and I'd say it does a good job of that. I also appreciate that the book offers some variations for some poses, if you're not yet capable of certain moves. I like the sequences the book offers for a variety of yoga practices - some shorter, some longer, and different levels of difficulty. The spiral binding is nice, in that the book will lay flat for you to work from; however, my eyes just aren't good enough to read to book from any distance, since it isn't super big. Overall a good reference book.

This is my Go to book every time I write sequences. It's well written with wonderful ideas. Get creative with this book by blending the ideas into your teaching sequences.

I like this book. The routines are varied enough to stay interesting, and there are enough modifications to make them accessible. If you're going to buy this book, know that the asanas are not described in detail; you will need some other reference for that.The best part is, I feel good when I'm done.

As both a yoga practitioner and yoga teacher, Everyday Yoga is a priceless resource! Sage's easy to follow instructions and beautiful pictures help me practice more regulary and provide clearer instructions when I'm the one teaching.

It's a good, easy book to follow and the construction of the book is nice (with rings so you can fold it open, etc.)

This has everything from short routines to really long ones as well as how to make your own combinations. The spiral binding makes it easy to manage and it stays open to the pages you need to reference.

Really useful for yoga practitioners and teachers. Some really nice sequencing ideas.

Excellent sequences that can be done on their own or combined with other sequences in the book. Illustrations are easy to follow and suitable for all levels. Highly recommend!

I like this book. You do need to already know the basics. It does walk you through the poses but not in detail. Good if you like to do snippets at home and need some inspiration & don't want to do a whole DVD. You can do longer routines too.
