Reader Review
Excellent Companion to the Video, January 20, 2003
Reviewer: Linda Vigneri from Houston, TX USA
When it comes to weight loss, I am the type of person that doesn't want to just be told what to do, I want to know why. Ms. Deason's book appealed to me because she offered just that. About 2/3 of the book is devoted to various yoga poses, offering step-by-step instructions (with plenty of illustration), and a list of the benefits that each pose brings to your body. She effectively explained the "mind-body connection" that is inherent to yoga (which is a new concept to me), and the important role it plays in every aspect of your life. She does a wonderful job of speaking to the other key aspects of weight loss including nutrition, emotional well being, and striking a balance in a hectic world. Ms. Deason truly speaks to the importance of understanding your body and provides effective, practical tools that help set you on the path in the right direction. Informative, practical, and effective are three words I feel best describe "Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss." I recommend it to anyone that wants to gain a better understanding of both "how" and "why" yoga offers a healthy approach to life.

Reader Review
Get this book, May 23, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Houston, TX USA
A friend of mine and I were looking at some of the new yoga books and this one just popped out at us. we do yoga about 4 nights a week and we needed some new material. Yoga Turns Back the Clock was a amazing because it showed us a whole new perspective on yoga and showed us how it can be used to tone, to burn fat, or best of all to look younger. We have been using the book for only a few weeks but we think that it is best yoga book we have bought in a while. we love the approach and the style. it is also great for beginners, like us, who are not as flexible as many other yoga books expect you to be. Yoga Turns BAck the CLock challenges us without making us get into positions that we could not even begin to. i love this book and suggest it for anyone who likes doing yoga or wants to start.

My review after day 1, April 22, 2002
Reviewer: Amy Sperry (see more about me at Amazon.com) from Tulsa, Oklahoma
After only one day of this work out, I feel amazing. My legs feel long with a line of strong muscles all the way down. I can feel the results now, but I'm sure I will see the results in the future. (And my husband loved to watch!) I have only 3 complaints so far: 1. I needed someone to read the steps to me for each exercise because they tend to be rather involved. 2. 30 minutes was not enough time. I needed about 45 minutes to be able to complete all the repititions and another extra 15 minutes if I wanted to do the suggested meditation. 3. The exercises needed pictures for each of the various steps involved in the exercise rather than just one picture. Some of the moves, I had to hope was right. I'm going to have to draw stick figures in myself, I guess.
