My Review:

This is a great book for older people desiring to be more flexible and healthy in general. The illustrations are well done. This book is especially good for older people having balance issues. Sitting poses allow for some work to be done on strengthening muscles and becoming more flexible without standing. But there is the option for standing so as one becomes more stable, one can move to the standing poses. The instructions are clear and the good illustrations help too. It is a very good book for beginners and especially for those having balance issues.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
