Title:
Yoga: The Poetry of the Body
Author: Rodney
Yee with Nina Zolotow
Review: The
title of this book captures the essences of what yoga is to
Rodney and Nina. The entire book goes beyond the
mechanics of the posture and brings poetry to evoke the joy
of each posture.
Rodney and Nina take an
unconventional approach then most books on postures and
alignment. Besides explaining the proper alignment,
Rodney and Nina

eloquently
weave poetry into the posture description as if you were
taking a class with Rodney himself. The words inspire
the student to evoke the posture from the internal core
rather then going through the motions of the postures.
This book also includes transcriptions of casual
conversations between Rodney and Nina that discuss topics
such as: Body Image, Rewiring the Body, True Confessions,
Coconut Ice Cream, The Yoga Mind Game, and more.
Conversations give you a exclusive insight into the thoughts
of two pioneers of yoga in the West. Beautiful
interwoven thoughts are wonderfully placed throughout the
book to reveal each one's philosophy and expression of yoga.
Weather you are a teacher
or practitioner of yoga; this book is a definite addition to
anyone's practice. The entire book flows like poetry,
as if you were watching the gracefulness and sweetness of
Rodney Yee on your television. This book is written
with so much feeling that it celebrates the experience of
yoga.
