An introduction covers equipment, alignment, a warm-up and the breath. From there the book moves through standing poses such as Mountain, Tree and the three Warriors; seated poses including Butterfly and Boat; floor poses from Cat and Cow to Bridge and Sphinx; six breathing exercises; restful poses such as Child's pose and Legs up the wall; and short flowing sequences, among them a Sun Salutation and a wind-down called Sleep Tight.
It suits people new to yoga, including the teens and young adults a Yoga magazine reviewer says it was curated for, as well as practitioners who want familiar poses laid out plainly. Basdeo lays out the poses and their order; how far to take each one is the reader's call, and a doctor's where health is a concern.
