Beautiful Book
This is a great book to get anyone excited about the possibilities of partner yoga. The pictures are beautiful and the amount of poses is incredible. I love this book.
Oh boy...For professional reference only
As a fitness professional and certified yoga teacher I would not recommend this book to practice with or take advice from. I actually warn my clients NOT to do some of the things they suggest (such as pushing on knees to get a deeper stretch) unless they are eager to injur themselves. Unless you are a professional and are able to sort through the exercises to determine which are safe and which are not, I would look elsewhere for advice on stretching and/or yoga.
However, if you are trained in biomechanics or movement this could be a good reference for ideas for partner classes, workshops or demonstrations (but you will have to know what to leave out). The participants will need to be fairly flexible already.
Some of the pictures are cool but the quality of the printing is not that high, so they are more grey than black and white.
Total Disappointment
I bought this book as an Amazon suggestion to another book I was purchasing for my spouse as a gift. This book was an inexpensive "add-on" to what I was already buying (Contact Yoga) so I bought it. I was totally disappointed and if I can find the time I'm going to return this one.
My husband and I love to practice yoga and we've been wanting to find truly good books with more 'partner' yoga poses. This one touts 75 postures, but in reality it's only a few 'beginner' poses shown from various angles.
If you're really into yoga then don't waste your money on this book.
Sharing a Your Yoga Practice
Very helpful information, this book explores several forms of sharing a yoga practice, from a very conservatve approach to a more intimate version. I would encourage anyone thinking of adding some partner yoga to their practice to look at this book. Beautifully exicuted and photographed!
Small, Handy and practical
I havent read it completely - but so far so good. Love the size as I can take it to class when I teach. Also like the pictures and explanations. Would love if they recommended different sequencing for a 20 min to 1 hour partner yoga session. Don't know if they do since I havent read it thoroughly. Also, recommend any adjustments for different types of bodies and range of flexibility.
