Carla McKay writes the book that she would like to have read when she first encountered yoga. In 12 chapters she writes wittily and clearly about the profound physical effect yoga has on the body and mind as well as immune system, and also the possible dangers if you don't practice it correctly. Avoiding the terminology that is sometimes incomprehensible and unfamiliar to those who are beginners, she has written a compelling guide to this fascinating exercise that anyone interested in a healthier life can do or start at any age.
