User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect OM
I have been doing yoga and pilates for almost a year now. I have been fascinating with reading books on the subject of yoga in order to discover more about this art.

Yoga Chick, A Hip Guide to Everything OM is absolutely perfect for anyone who is just discovering yoga and has questions.

First off, the cover of this book really impressed me - I love the concept of thinking of myself as a yoga chick and the bright purple just felt inspiring and uplifting.

The book starts off with a 101 primer of yoga. It briefly explains its beginnings and segways directly into the basics you will need in order to start doing your poses. In the Getting Started section, there are descriptions of some of the more basic poses (with a cute little drawing of the actual pose). I also really enjoyed the yoga poses that can be done directly on your bed - first thing in the morning if you are not in the mood to do a full practice at 5:00 am.

There is a brief look at our various chakras - where they are situated and what they represent. There is also a section on meditation and journaling.

Basically, this book really is a wealth of information for anyone who is just starting out. It is encouraging us to take charge of our health and to encompass healthier habits (including eating habits) with a more spiritual journey.

I loved this book - well researched and covers off any and all subjects remotely related to yoga - it is a bible for those just starting out.

5 Stars Yoga Chick - A Hip Guide to Everything Om
My neice and I LOVED this book. It gave us something to work on together besides arguing about the messy state of her bedroom and how often she gets to drive my car. Besides the poses, which were challenging and fun, we especially loved the section called “Going with the Yoga Flow.” We didn’t feel overwhelmed, which we sometimes have when looking at some other yoga books. Doing the practices is great “us” time.

5 Stars Fun to read, fun to do
This book is fun to read and fun to do — and it’s more than just yoga and breathing exercises. Great ideas here on everything from eating well to looking beautiful, at much more than the superficial level. This is a wonderful gift for any girl (or woman) who wants to have “style, strength and serenity.”

5 Stars Yoga Chick Is Right-On!
The enormous amount of pressure and stress our teenagers place upon themselves, in reaction to the real pressure we adults place on them, seems particularly acute with girls. All of our teenage daughters can benefit from Yoga Chick, no matter how deeply they get into it.

5 Stars Easy to read and informative!
I bought this for myself, and my 14 year old niece, who

has been doing Gymnastics, most of her life.

We both love it!

I would recommend it to all ages!
