Book Reviews of Yoga Posture Adjustments and Assisting: An Insightful Guide for Yoga Teachers and Students

Book Review: Not as good as I expected
Summary: 1 Stars

This was not as good as I expected. I had hoped for more muscular and anatomical references. Good starting point, but not as in depth as I would have liked it to be.
