New to Yoga? Helpful Books to Get You Started
Jan 17, 2012 • 0 Comment(s)
After being convinced by several friends that there are numerous benefits to yoga, I jumped on the New Year's Resolution bandwagon and resolved to make an effort to do a class once a week for 2012. Halfway through January, I haven’t wavered from my resolution yet, but as a yoga newbie, I’m still trying to 
get into the swing of it.
Looking to get in on the yoga fad? Here are some books I found helpful:
