Yoga Basics Plus : A beginner's guide to yoga

I myself have been doing yoga for 3 years now, but it wasn't easy for me when I first started!  I mean, information on this is pretty hard to come across.  Especially the kind of information I wanted to know more about.  To be quite honest with you, I got tired of looking and searching all over the place, so I decided to create the definitive book on yoga!
