"If you've been hesitant to try yoga...pick up The No OM Zone.

Yoga can be daunting. Complicated postures, exotic terminology, and a new-age vibe often make this highly beneficial practice seem like a members only club. The truth is that yoga is for everyone. It relaxes the mind, eases muscle soreness, and has been proven to prevent injury, increase longevity; and boost total-body strength. Yoga instructor and pioneer of Yoga for Athletes, a cutting-edge class and DVD series, Kimberly Fowler shows readers how to relieve stress, pain from sports injuries, and tension with postures for every major muscle group. Starting with the head and moving down to the neck, shoulders, back, hip flexors, ham- strings, and ending with the feet, Fowler provides clear-cut instructions for safely entering, holding, and exiting each muscle group-specific pose. With motivational sidebars and boxes featuring sport-specific tips for athletes and novices throughout, "The No Om Zone" is the book for anyone who wants to experience the healing, strengthening, and restorative rewards of yoga without all the other stuff.
