Yoga for Everyone: 50 Poses For Every Type of Body

This is the perfect book to get started with yoga. It's light on theory and focused on practical descriptions of common yoga poses and routines to get anyone started. The author includes alternatives to all poses so that practitioners of any level can find a way to engage and benefit from yoga.

Thank you Diane Bondy for a remarkably inclusive, informative and easy to follow yoga book! I teach yoga and it’s helped me immeasurably with so many of my students!

I love the many modifications they have for the yoga poses....I find myself going back a lot looking at this book. Great reference book!

I like this book very much, I wish it was spiral bound so it would stay open on the page. Photographs are good and you are given several option for poses depending on you ability.

In recent years yoga has been marketed as an activity for young, thin, privileged, white women, so when anyone outside that mold looked at yoga, it seemed like it wasn't meant for us. It feels like the tide is turning and people are actively seeking out diverse voices. Dianne Bondy has been doing this work for a long time, long before it became trendy, and she knows what she's talking about. This book is beautiful, easy to follow, and I think everyone can find parts of themselves reflected in the yogis who were photographed. If you're at all uneasy or unsure of where to start with yoga, or wondering if there's a place for you in yoga, start here!

This was a Christmas gift to my 20 year old daughter, and it was one of her favorite gifts.The book shows yoga techniques for all age groups and abilities. Traditional yoga and chair techniques, too

Happy to see such an inclusive yoga story here. It brings home the message that Yoga IS for everyone. I love it. I got it on my lunch break and don't even want to put it down. Very informative about modifications with written explanation and photos. Seeing how different bodies look in the poses is wonderful instruction for me as a teacher. I did a retreat with Dianne two years ago and she is the most empowering instructor I've ever studied from - so I'm glad she brought her practice to a book. Definitely feel it is a necessary tool for all of us teachers and a good tool for students as well.

This book is full of amazing photos of people who are all kinds of abled. The images and the stories clearly show that yoga is for everyone and not just those who are already fit, flexible, furiously devoted to their practice.There is room for everyone in yoga. One of the beauties of this books is that it has photos of real people doing real yoga. I find this much more accessible and inspirational than line drawings because after all, it is easy to twist a line drawing into a pose but not so easy to twist a person into a pose.

This book…is AMAZING. It covers SO much! 50 poses - and each one has multiple variations! Incredible format to the book. I love the back where Dianne has laid out some sequences such as Easing Back Pain, Sun Salutation, Bedtime, and more! I have already started using it upon receiving it yesterday. It is a game changer! Thank you to the wonderful author, Dianne Bondy. This book is the most beautifully inclusive book and the message is clear: You CAN do Yoga. 🥰

Adoro l'approccio di Dianne nel riuscire a rendere le lezioni accessibili a tutti. Sto svolgendo anche una formazione con lei ed è stata la svolta. Mi ha risolto tanti dubbi sul come gestire le diversità durante una lezione di yoga e sul come modificare alcune asana. Personalmente consiglio!

well-described yoga poses. good book

Genial

Wonderful inclusive book for teachers or a beginner to yoga. I am training to be a yoga teacher and I have completed Accessible Yoga training and this book still showed me a few alternatives to make yoga more accessible. Wonderful photos with at least 3 variations on the asana/posture.I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about making yoga for all.
