Yoga for Inflexible People: Improve mobility, strength and balance with this step-by-step starter programme

For someone who can not touch their toes, I am thoroughly enjoying this book. We have been using it as a family to stretch each day. The pictures and descriptions make it very easy to follow. I would recommend for beginners and for those who have limited flexibility.

High hopes for this book.Its a very well laid out book but I'm still finding most of the positions difficult.They do give you 2/3 ways of attempting each position though.I just must be a robot!

This book is a good guide to the poses and shows most of them with 3 variations so one can build up to doing them correctly. That's why i am giving it 4 stars.Where its fails is that there's a whole world of inflexible that isn't covered here. Another version of this book that assumes significantly more inflexibility would be good, i.e. so inflexible that you can't comfortably sit crossed legged in a rest pose, do child's pose. Props like bolsters and blocks seem to be key, but they don't feature heavily in the this book.In sum, the target audience for this book should be made more clear.If you're a bit inflexible (like me) this book is quite good. If you are INFLEXIBLE (like my partner), then this book is probably not be the bridge to progressing into these posses that you are hoping for.

Lovely clear instructions . Liked the 3 alternative positionsBeginner , intermediate and advanced

This clearly written book details a comprehensive selection of asanas, with a series of annotated photographs to show beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for each one. So whether you are a beginner who feels a bit creaky, someone who has been practising basic yoga for a while and wants to progress a little, or a full-on flexi looking to get to the next level, there is something here for you. Basically, you will not outgrow this book for quite some time.

Amazing book. Exactly what I need to start as a beginner and stay with me as I get more flexible. So glad I bought this.

But good resource on variations and adjustments.

Had a go but not for me. Can see it being of use to some people.
