Yoga For Americans: A Complete Six Weeks' Course For Home Practice Paperback – September 10, 2010

If you are new to yoga, you can learn everything you need with this book. One caveat: I first bought it when I was 16, and learned all the lessons in 6 weeks quite easily. Now I'm 65, it's been a decade or 2 since I quit, and I wanted to review the basics since it's been so long. Well I'm pretty stiff, and at my age & in my condition, each lesson is taking more like six weeks. But I am making progress.

This is a wonderful book. It was written in 1959 but it reads current to the world today, it's accessible and it is truly thought provoking. Indra Devi was the first woman to ever learn yoga from Krishnamacharya, the father of modern yoga. Anyone interested in yoga should read her books! Not just because they're beautifully written but because she's such an important and inspiring piece if Yoga's modern history.

I love this book. My friend Bruce gave it to me decades ago - it got me started practicing yoga.I took a hiatus from practice because of health issues. Now I'm back into stretching with thissimple, easy to follow book by the mother of yoga practice in the US.

Indra Devi is a yoga icon. This work does feel a bit dated but the bones are still good. And you get a feeling of what a real pioneer Devi was. Devi's personal story is fascinating. She was an omniglot and her travels and influence spanned the globe. She was the only female student of Krishnamacharya. This book was one of the first advocate and to give any book buyer access to a yoga.

Written by a master of yoga. The review of physical fitness of Americans in the 1960s is very similar to what it is today. Indra's insight and practice suggestions are very compelling.

I love this book...it is easy to follow and has helped me get a clear picture of what yoga and meditation are and how they help you.

I had this book about 40 years ago. I loved it then and was overjoyed to see it available now.Indra explains thing so understandably and precisely.It is the best yoga program I have evr read.

Indra Devi's story is so interesting in the yoga field, that I think everyone should know about her.
