Our First Book: Yoga for Beginners
Yoga for Beginners YogaBasics’ founder, Timothy Burgin, has just published Yoga For Beginners: A Quick-Start Guide to Practicing Yoga for New Students.

This book's unique approach first takes you through the basics of practicing yoga and then teaches you the poses in the context of a yoga practice sequence. With this sequence based learning approach, you can easily jump from section to section and learn only as much as you wish to practice, or you can progress page by page to begin and deepen your practice of yoga in a linear progression.
