The author discusses how yoga became a part of her life along with meditation. I have followed Anodea Judith’s work with chakra for years. I was unaware of her connection to yoga until my life coach mentioned it last year. I was glad to find this book since I did a chakra yoga class two summers ago. I think my favorite is the sixth chakra practice for the eyes. This book shows yoga poses that activate each chakra. There are multiple yoga poses for each chakra which includes a photo and description. Although some of the positions are challenging, the author stresses you caution and who should avoid each pose. If you enjoy yoga and working with chakras, this is an excellent resource for you.

Though aimed at non-beginners, beginning practitioners should take comfort in the fact that Judith is a longtime teacher and fully understands the limits of trying to read while holding a Downward Facing Dog. Clear and concise, with a hint of humor, it is a great addition (or starting place) for those who are learning or expanding their knowledge of yoga.

Net Galley did not give readers a feedback ratio when I first requested this yoga.. However, now publishers are looking at that in determining whether or not to provide a digital ARC, so I am having to go back and fill these out for titles requested more than two years ago.
