| A Practical Approach for The Rest of UsI am a relatively new yoga teacher and I have been looking for information about dealing with various levels of ability and physical challenges I encounter in my classes. This is a very readable and down-to-earth guide; informative, simple, and easy to understand, whether you are a student or a teacher. I especially appreciate the modifications, the benefits and cautions regarding specific problems, and the chair yoga information. There are photographs of the various poses - not photos of picture-perfect models doing picture-perfect poses, but of real people of every age and description demonstrating full poses as well as modified poses. This may not be the most detailed book on the subject -- which is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of five. I'm sure as I progress as a teacher I will want to delve deeper into the subtler aspects. Still, at this stage,I find it very valuable.
great book!I am resuming yoga practice, after many years. I needed to find a fitness regime to keep active, healthy and fit; but not kill myself off. So..I began researching yoga on the internet. Most of the yoga dvds and books are for people who can put themselves into pretzel knots and at 58, doing housecleaning and driving a bus, I was too stiff and knotted up to do the 'usual' yoga. So, I began researching 'senior' yoga; and that's when I found Peggy Cappy's book and her yoga dvds (geared for people like me)..I got the book and several of her dvd's in the mail today and these I CAN DO..I already recommend the book and her dvds..
Every Yoga Teacher should own this book!When I first started teaching yoga, I was not prepared for the number of folks that would come to class who just weren't able to move in certain ways either due to illness, injury or plain old stiffness. Peggy's book gave me all sorts of valuable tools to use with students and I incorporate them into all of my classes.
Peggy has made yoga accessible to everyone no matter what type of body they bring to class. This is what "real" yoga is all about. Thanks so much Peggy!

yoga bookThe book arrived timely and in excellent shape. I am a yoga teacher and specialize in gentle yoga. I have to say I didn't learn much new from this book, but would recommend it to beginning students and teachers who are into gentle yoga.
A great resource for yoga students and teachersAs a yoga teacher who works with senior citizens, I turn to Peggy's book and her DVD's for help all the time. In addition, I have used her as a resource in my Occupational Therapy practice. Her explanations are clear and her adaptations for people with diverse needs are helpful. She has shown us that every one can do sun salutations.
I appreciate the visuals she uses to show us how to do the poses. She shows us though we are of all shapes, sizes and ages, we all can do yoga!
