“Art of Attention” is a book I originally sampled as a galley, but ended up buying much later after the fact as a reference for yoga practice as a part of my background in exercise science. Penned by Elena Brower and Erica Jago, the book is beautiful compilation in five sessions of yoga poses presented as meditative practice, fully illustrated with movement diagrams and photographs. I liked the step-by-step presentation and interactive prompts the book provides. I would rate it a solid 4-stars for the presentation of the book, both on an artistic level and for the foundation of the information and practices here.

Overall score: 4/5 stars.

Note: I originally received a sample of this book as a galley from NetGalley on behalf of the publisher, but later bought the book on my own.

This is a loving, spirited (read hippyish) and wonderfully illustrated book. There are gorgeous pictures everywhere, but the yoga poses could use more than one. The pictographs the author uses in her sequences are novel and useful. The author is filled with love and it radiates throughout the book.
