this book fed my curiosity:

Ever go to a yoga class and the teacher gives you a gentle touch in just the right place that makes your body relax or open into a pose? That's the type of yoga teacher I aspire to be. I was hoping this book could help me learn some the pressure points I could incorporate into my adjustments. What I got out of the book is the re affirmation that yoga practice gives you all the acupressure you ever need.

Wonderful combination:

Since I am a librarian, usually I don't buy books that I can check out from the library. However, this book is definitely an exception. The first copy of this book I bought in the '80's.

Helpful Yoga Series + Variety of Postures to Heal Ailments:

This also allows for a better focus, more mindfulness of the posture and intent. The photos and essays are clear and easy to view. Enjoy!
