About The Pocket Idiot's Guide to 108 Yoga Poses

Yoga can be practiced anywhere, but no one wants to lug around a full-sized, soup-to-nuts book. The solution: a book of poses and a few routines to enable one to practice at work, on a business trip, or while vacationing.

Includes more than 108 illustrated yoga poses for home, office, and travel, with concise explanations for what each pose achieves. In India, 108 is considered a sacred number.

Features routines that utilize the poses.

ABC News reports that 16.5 million Americans practice yoga, an increase of 43% since 2002.

Medical practicioners are now using yoga as a therapeutic tool to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries.
