Book is nice but…
This is a really good book for learning yoga related anatomy and stretching. But see the condition of the book, how I got it. It had some liquid spillage on it, smells like a lotion. This is even after getting a replacement.

Don't waste your time and money.
It's good for beginners but not justified the price. One pose repeated many times. I don't satisfy with the product. It have only for basics excercise. And not return policy only replacement.
