Yoga at Home: An Economical, Fun Way to Learn from a Book

The other day I received an email from a neighbor, Alexia, whom I have not yet met in person, but have communicated with over the past few months about rescue dogs and yoga through my neighborhood listserve. Interested in learning more about yoga, a few months ago, she bought a copy of my book (as shown above) from Amazon.com. She told me that she had read other books and even attended a local yoga class without much success.  But, she decided to give my book a try.

Busy woman that she is, Alexia was not able to finish reading my book until last week.  I was pleased when she emailed me, "Laura-----I finally found some time and finished "Yoga at Home" last night.  I can't say enough good about it...I was especially impressed with your clear, concise, straightforward style of writing.  This is the first yoga book ever I've thought I could really learn yoga from.  I felt you were speaking directly to me."

She then shared her plan for learning yoga from my book.  She and a friend will start by reading instructions to each other.  One will read and the other will do the stretches and then each will switch off.

What a clever and economical way for two people to learn together in the convenience of their own home! And, each of them will still be able to move at their own pace - whatever is most comfortable for their body type and level of fitness when they begin.

If a yoga book gives you precise and detailed instructions and you use baby steps to learn and listen to your body, you CAN learn yoga effectively and economically at home with a partner!

Yours for learning yoga at home,

Laura Venecia, the Yoga at Home Beginner's Coach

I agree - as long as the book provides step-by-step information and details. I have read many that do not.

You have to learn from a book first.

How many yogis out there ever learned from watching?
Some claim they do.

Unspecified movement can be learned readily from watching. Take an average suburban playground, for instance ...

But information is transmitted in its most detail from a book.
