The best yoga book I've ever used, this is my third time purchasing the book because I've lost the other copies and was desperate to do the poses again!

I met MC Yogi at the 2017 Floyd Yoga Jam and he just blew me away. He is so charismatic, down-to-earth, and funny. His yoga class was my favorite by far. The way he makes everyone, even strangers, feel like family is a lesson to live by. And his music makes yoga so fun! And to experience it all in person? Definitely!

Anyway, during 1 of his classes, he told everyone he wrote a book, so of course I had to preorder it! Spiritual Graffiti was absolutely excellent! It's a quick read, maybe taking 4 or 5 hours, but every minute was engaging. It contains an unbelievable amount of detail and MC Yogi really paints the picture for you. I listened to the entire book in 1 sitting. I simply couldn't put it down! I laughed, I cried, and just sat in awe listening to his journey through life.

I'm so glad MC Yogi narrated his own book, as he really gets the intended emotions in there and it was like he was right here telling me the story in person. You can definitely tell this book meant a lot to him. Such an interesting life! If you're into yoga or the spiritual life style or simply looking for a good read about a young man's journey through life, then I can't recommend this book enough! Even though I just finished it, I'm about to read it again! A+++++++

*note*

I read this book through Amazon Audible, but I will be picking up a physical copy soon. I think I remember him saying the physical copy has some art work and maybe comes with some of his music? Anyway, make sure to look into that. I can't recommend the audible version enough!!!!

I love this incredible workbook! It is likely the only yoga workbook I will ever need (for decades). I am buying a second copy. It is a source of relaxation, strength, and inspiration. It's like going on a mini-sabbatical every time I pick it up. Miguel Latronica and Dr. Mary Farhi are the ultimate dream team for experiencing a uniquely personal yoga journey. Any single page holds keys to potentially life-changing self-discoveries. Any page is an awesome addition to one's daily routine.

This revolutionary guide is powerful, scientific in its precision, creatively cultivated and beautifully presented. With fresh perspective, it harnesses many facets conceived to make yoga accessible and fun. Appropriate for a very wide audience, from those new to the practice to lifelong yogis.

Explore and enjoy for yourself! This book is beyond amazing.

I have fibromyalgia and other health problems that make my very stiff and sore. I have been looking to try yoga but everything is just too hard,fast or painful! Not this book! The book lays flat on the bed or the floor so you can have it handy while you are learning the stretches. You are encouraged to take it slow and easy too. These stretches are just as easily done on the floor too. For those of us that cant stand up for very long this is a very effective routine. If you can only do a few of these stretches then do those. You are introduced to simple meditation too. I enjoy this book so much I ordered the DVD too. I would love to give this book to everyone I know. Absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!

There are hundreds of books about yoga theory and yoga practice, but almost NO books about how to be a good yoga teacher. "The Toolbox" fills that gap. This is a short, sweet volume that you can easily read in one or two sittings, but you will find yourself underlining, making notes, and coming back to it again and again. Teri has distilled a lifetime of experience, practice, and wisdom into 75 pages, and she says a LOT with just a few words. If you are a yoga teacher, there may be a chapter, a page, or even a sentence that will change your whole approach to teaching class.

I am so happy to have this book! I read it in a couple of days and I am encouraging all the teachers at my studio to read it too. If you run a studio, this is a great way to get all your teachers onto the same page, and there is enough material in here to spark hours of discussion. Thank you Teri for being so generous with your time and knowledge and sharing this with all of us!

I was happy to come across this book and even happier when I saw the magnificent reviews for it. I have never come across a Yoga book that had a universal appeal and a great love for the work. I decided to purchase myself a copy and join in on the wonders of this book. I am not dissapointed at all. I am extremely happy about the content shared here in this one book.

In my years of Yogic study I have found info. on energy work, pranic exercises here, there and everywhere. Still, I lacked the knowledge to full grasp what this program is all about. I have mounds of dvd's and books, and paperwork on pranic/energy healing. Still, I could not feel satisfied. So much was missing.

This book has a world of life changing information in it for everyone who practices Yoga. It is very well written and explained, very well formatted (has a very easy to follow system) and includes all of the benefits of getting your many layers healthy. All of the vital information we need to restore ourselves to balance can be found here. A great curriculum.

While reading the book, I realized that my search, on how to attain peace within all levels of my self, had finally ended. I did several of the pawanmuktasana exercises and really felt an opening of the energies of my lower body.

This book is so simple. Yet, it bestows on the practioner, peace, vitality, renewal of self and self strength. Only once have I did this and I feel safe within myself already. Thanks to Swami Satyananda Saraswati, his knowledge and his following teachers.

I am sure that this book will remain with me for a very long time, making it part of my practice to better health. I do not think anyone will have any negative feelings or experiences with this book. It is not to take over your spiritual or religious beliefs but to be used in tandem with it to enhance your bond with the higher energies/source (God; Buddha; etc.) that moves us all.

I highly recommend this to those who are on this path, but hesitate to purchase it. We can only enhance our life experience.

Take Care and May we all find our way...

I am a kids yoga teacher and LOVE this book so much! My son wants me to read it to him every single night. He is 3 and has been practicing yoga with me since birth. He loves to pick out his favorite mat color that he would practice on. It is so imaginative and he really is so enthralled every time I read it. I love Giselle Sharlow's books, all of them are so much fun for kids.

This is the best and most complete book ever written about Hatha Yoga.  The section on yoga philosophy is worth more than the price of the book alone.  I have never seen such lovingly detailed instruction not only on yoga postures but also on breathing.  This book was written in the seventies and there is still nothing better.

This book quickly became one of my ALL-TIME favorite yoga books. And that is saying a lot, since I have been practicing, reading, and studying since 1998, and I am a pretty geeky yoga teacher. Also, as a longtime meditator, I have been aware that there are very few books out there that bring together the physical yoga practice with Buddhist meditation practices in such a clear and meaningful way. Anne Cushman is a wonderful writer - funny, sweet, descriptive, inspiring, and she presents the intricate details of these practices with care in a way that avoids either dumbing them down or overwhelming the reader. After all, it is no easy task to integrate two of the world's great wisdom traditions (yoga and Buddhism), acknowledging their interconnected roots, their philosophical overlaps and departures, their evolutions into mainstream culture, and the ways they can inform each other in the day-to-day space of our practice. There are many exercises within for bringing awareness onto your mat, but the book does not prescribe certain yoga styles or sequences for the most part. She does suggest both active practices (standing poses, sun salutations, etc) and Yin poses. If you like the work that Sarah Powers does, you will also like this a lot. There is also excellent guidance for how you can translate your work on the mat into your sitting meditation practice, even if you are new to meditation. In fact, this book will help you get started, as it skillfully uses yoga to prepare the body/mind/energy system for formal meditation. I highly recommend following her 12-week program as outlined in the book - you will find daily inspiration here, and maybe even transform how you approach your yoga.

THE BEST YOGA DVD I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! I tried a lot of different yoga DVD's and this set by far is the best. Awesome variety! After your practice you feel enlightened and energized. It's challenging enough to keep you busy, but not too crazy that you can't keep up if you're a beginner. I've been using these two DVD's alone for a few months not and still aren't bored with them.

This book is terrific!  Using Dr. DeStefano's instructions, I stopped the pain in my neck.  Yoga had not worked.  I am most thankful for this book!

A beautifully written offering from a wonderful yoga teacher who never fails to disappoint. This book should be on every yoga teacher's shelf! Wonderful yogic references and a host of  meditation practices to share with others or keep to yourself. I love the section of living yoga as an offering throughout the year in tune with the cycle and rhythms of the sun and moon. Amazing!
