Reviews for The New Yoga for People Over 50
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
5/5
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I chose to read this book as an introduction to Yoga practice that did not assume that I am an athlete with the cardio-vascular system of a nineteen-year-old and the agility of a fourteen-year-old. It perfectly fit the bill. Suza Francina makes a great case for anyone that is "still breathing" to start practicing Yoga. The New Yoga for People Over 50 provides a potpourri of testimonials from teachers and students with instructions on modifications that lower the entrance bar to become attainable for every age and ability.
