--Fran Rader, Cleburne High School
Book Review: The Yoga Handbook
"This is the book for anyone wanting to learn all about Yoga. Not only does it provide a step-by-step to beginning your own Yoga program, but the author also discusses the history, different types of Yoga, physical postures, deep relaxation, breathing practices, meditation, diet, and a program of Yoga for everyday. The color photos of positions, called asanas, are excellent and help the reader to understand how to get into each Yoga pose. This is a great addition to any high school library wanting to update its fitness collection."
--Carolyn Bason, Denton High School
