The authors could have benefited from having an experienced writer edit the book. The writing style has a girly / childish ring to it. I was surprised how often the authors could end a sentence with an exclamation point.
The poses are described well enough, and the photos were taken with enough care to show placement of limbs, etc. The poses were grouped by categories, which is fine, but very little described how the sequence of the poses would happen. I also thought the authors skipped a few poses that I consider to be foundation poses.
For someone attempting to do yoga on their own or learn more about building a practice, I don't think this book is appropriate."
