50 poses for every type of body
For years, yoga books have asked readers to bend over backward (literally!) to conform to their physical demands. It's time for the opposite--for readers to demand that yoga conforms to their individual needs. It's time for a yoga book to reflect the broader population who would benefit from a yoga practice geared toward them.
This book offers yoga for everyone: big, small, elderly, pregnant, disabled--everyone. No matter who you are, you can do all 50 poses in this book. And then you can perform all 16 sequences, which combine different poses into one singular experience that focuses on specific physical and mental benefits.
No matter who you are or what you look or feel like, yes, you can do yoga--and Yoga for Everyone will show you how!
MY REVIEW
I first found out about Dianne Bondy when I saw her viral commercial ad for Pennington's I Won't Compromise campaign. It was refreshing to see a plus size woman of color moving her body around in different poses that I had only wish I could do as I myself am a plus size woman of color. Soon after I started following her on Instagram and realized that she is also someone from the same county that I reside in.
When I had the opportunity to review her book I jumped to it as Yoga is something I've tried before and failed at, so I wanted to see what I was doing wrong and how the 50 poses in the book could work for me and my body type. Filled with tons of great pictures and instructions, Yoga for Everyone is an amazing book that literally has poses for everyone to try.
The book shows you everything from creating your own space for yoga to making time and finding what practice works best for you. The book is filled with positive vibes and again I can not say enough how colorful and vibrant the book is showing you different poses on both male and female, young and old and different body types so that there's a bit of something in this book for everyone.
If you are looking to get into yoga and not sure where to begin I strongly recommend reading Yoga For Everyone, you'll definitely find something in this book that will help you find and practice a yoga that is just right for you.
