**Yoga Flex Review** This is the best and most comprehensive book on yoga that I have come across. It covers a large range of poses, importantly including health benefits of the exercises.

However, probably very daunting for the beginner and not easy to use unless you know what you are looking for in the first place.

If you buy only one book - then this should be the one!
