A more selective approach than Kiss' Yoga for Beginners (KR, 1971) this manual concentrates on twelve basic asana combinations -- the Salute to the Sun, the Locust, the Shoulder Stand and the Plow, etc. -- and dispenses entirely with meditation. Turner's easygoing introduction, geared to the young person who may have qualms about exercise in any form, stresses that yoga is a non-competitive and relaxing way to physical fitness, and the average physique of the model in the step-by-step photos (far superior to Kiss' tiny drawings) will boost the confidence of anyone who fears that only human pretzels can do yoga. This has the look of a successful self-starter.
