Rated 5 starsWhat advanced yoga looks like
I agree with everyone that the pictures are gorgeous, and the yoga posses are inspirational. However I'd like to point out another aspect of how to use this. Frequently yoga books are written for a beginner to intermediate audience and they show very basic of poses. You can use this book to look up what an advanced variation looks like. For example take Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) which most people learn as a simple back...

Rated 5 starssimply beautiful
As a student of both art and yoga, I really like the work done in this book on a number of levels. The poses are mostly well executed (there are exceptions, albeit very few) and the photographs themselves are very well composed (lighting, deciding which angle to take of the pose, etc.). It truly is both amazing and inspiring to see both yoga and photography performed at this level. What seems underrated even in these reviews...

Rated 5 starsBeautiful and artistic
I love this book. I often look through it for inspiration. The photos are well done.

Rated 5 starsOutstanding!!
First of all, this book is HUGE -- I was not expecting this (there was no dimension information when I purchased it). It is roughly 11"x14" and 2" thick. If that isn't stunning enough, wait until you open it. The pictures are *GORGEOUS* and truly amazing. I read elsewhere that there are ~375 photos in this book, and all but a few photos in the beginning are full-page photos. The poses they demonstrate are breathtaking...
