The volume depicts various Yoga positions for beginners and
intermediate practitioners of the art. The book is easy to read
and well organized. For someone unfamiliar with Yoga, it is
a good presentation.

For example, the author appears in full color pictures performing the following Yoga movements:
- circular neck stretches
- hands over head with palms joined
- seating position with the knees below the waist and knees
folded
- triangular pressure points in the shape of a triangle on the
ball of the foot
- lie on the back and lift the stomach upward
- get down on the knees and extend one leg fully outward
then extend the other leg fully outward
- kneel comfortably and bow forward with hands outstretched
and touching the floor
- lie down on the floor with feet crawling up the wall

These are just some of the many Yoga exercises depicted in
full color. The acquisition is well worth the price for the
valuable information provided . This book provides a good
introduction for someone planning to take Yoga formally or
someone who does not have the time yet would like to become
familiar with the various Yoga protocols.

For too long yoga instruction has ignored the needs of larger woman. I have been in yoga classes where the question "what do I do with my boobs?" was greeted with a puzzled look from my teacher.

Last year, I once again embarked on a yoga journey with the Just My Size Yoga DVD. I love it! Now, the instructor of that DVD has a book that builds on the poses and workouts highlighted in the DVD.

If you have ever been in a yoga class and felt out of place because of you size, this book is for you. If you want to enjoy the benefits of yoga, but learn adaptations for your curvy figure, this book is for you. If you want to feel good, and feel better about yourself, this book is for you!

MegaYoga stresses the benefits of yoga. Yoga improves health, releases stress, and builds self-esteem. MegaYoga does not, however, emphasize weight loss. Rather than setting a goal for someone you CAN BE, MegaYoga helps you love the person you ARE. It teaches the reader to love her body the way it is, and to not compare herself to others who are "thinner" or "more beautiful."

The book starts out with the journey of Megan Garcia, a beautiful plus size woman and yoga teacher. Next, the reader is introduced to "MegaYoga." MegaYoga teaches the traditional Hetha Yoga, but it acknowledges the special needs of the larger student. Posture, practice, props, and "moving the flesh" are all covered with a gentle, compassionate spirit.

The workout is broken down into "warm-up," "standing poses," "wall poses and inversions," "cleansing poses," and "quiet poses." While learning the poses, the book also provides a plan to help the learner grow with yoga. There are three workouts provide in the book, a 30 minute work out for the first 6 months, 60 minute workout for 6 - 18 months, and a 90 minute workout to go beyond 18 months.

I highly recommend this book for all the big, beautiful woman out there who want to reap the benefits of yoga.
