Yin Yoga: Principles and Practice 10th Anniversary Edition Paperback – October 16, 2012

Paul Grilley has a true mastery of his subject.You’ll find nary an extra page or a superfluous phrase to waste your valuable time in this 10th edition of this Yin Yoga bible.For teachers, enthusiasts, and the curious alike.This book is a must have addition to every health and wellness library collection.

This book on Yin Yoga from Paul & Suzee Grilley is a gem, it summarize all the different aspect of this healing & meditative practice. You need to go and follow any event from the Grilley's in order to understand the weight of each chapter, this book full of inestimable information take another dimension once you listen the author. Nevertheless this is an instant classic pointing us in the right direction to further our studies.

It is an incredible book, so precise and so clear. I am on a yin yoga teacher training program. The hardest thing is to write in simple words, be precise and cover the subject thoroughly and Paul Grilley has done it.

Paul gives the basics of practice in Yin Yoga and some comparisons between Yin Yoga and Yang Yoga.He also describes why 'Yin' and 'Yang' (Chinese expressions) work for something from the Indian subcontinent. And it even makes sense.His book is one of a couple of books needed to fully understand what is going on with this alternative to 'muscular' Yoga. There is more to learn - especially with regards to sequencing (I suspect many would like to integrate some of the Yin principles into a more 'normal' Yang - Vinyasa style program), but this is the place to begin.And you might like one of his DVD sets for more informations and a guided class.

A very good introduction to the practice of Yin Yoga, with an overview of its philosophy, concepts, and exercises - both breathing and postures - as well as meditation. Very helpful to begin building a daily practice.

Love yin yoga. My Wednesday morning's yoga class is yin yoga. I have such a relax and pain relief from my body that I inquire about it. My teacher recommended the book and having been practicing it ever since. I also buy the DVD and it is very helpful. I am bringing the DVD on my trips.

I teach a restorative yoga class and even just using Some of the postures offered in this book, I've been able to offer a much better practice to my students. If you are looking to deepen your yin practice I highly recommend this book (couple it with his Yin Yoga DVD for a truly transformational experience).

The only new was a different twist on exercises. Disappointed, sorry I bought both books.Lesson learned!
