Summary: The philosophy of yoga
Comment: I am a fairly casual yoga practitioner; I've just begun to try to incorporate yoga practice on an almost daily basis. This book goes beyond the practice of yoga postures and takes you deep into the philosophy behind yoga. It contains a series of essays and reflections, one for each day of the year; each entry begins with a quote derived from yoga texts, popular culture, or yoga students and teachers. The book is broken down into eight sections which correspond to the eight branches of yoga--the postures, or asanas, are just one of these branches, and the essays focus on incorporating yoga into your daily life both on and OFF the mat. Although I found most of the essays to be interesting and enjoyed learning more about yoga, ultimately, I do not see yoga affecting every aspect of my life as the author describes. However, those who are interested in integrating yoga/yogic philosophy into everything they do are likely to enjoy this book.

Summary: Rolf will change your life!
Comment: Read this book, and if your live in the Boston area, try to attend one of Rolf's classes. He will make you weep with joy. Rolf combines spirituality with physicality in a unique way that is truly a life-changing experience. In a culture where we, especially women, experience so much negativity towards our bodies, Rolf is a godsend - helping us love and inhabit ourselves. I have used Amazon.com for years, and this is the first time I have taken the time to write a review.

Summary: Simply Awesome!
Comment: This is by far one of the best books on yoga I have ever read. There are no postures, just daily meditations on what it means to follow the path of yoga. Each day is preceded by a quote which illuminates that day's thought. Many of the quotes are taken directly from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The book also roughly follows Patanjali's sutras in it's basic structure. The author went through a life crisis of alchohol addiction and after getting cleaned up, yoga helped him take control of his life and find spiritual peace. The daily meditations are very uplifting and will make you better appreciate your life, improve your relationships and refine your spiritual path. A highly recommend this book. It may just change your life for the better.
