I had the pleasure of doing a weekend workshop with Ms. Kozak a few years ago after reading this book. I find myself constantly referring to it when I have questions about the doshas or the poses in general. You will not be disappointed in this book.

Yoga For Your Type is a great book on Yoga. It teaches about Ayurveda and how we can know ourselves better and how we can then use our postures to help us manage our energy, feelings, and lives. It is also a really good book about yoga. The descriptions of the poses are thorough and understandable and as good as you can find anywhere. I use this
book and recommend it as both a good and complete yoga book as well as a good reference for anyone wanting to create a better Ayurvedic balancing type of yoga practice.

This book provides easy to understand basics of yoga and ayurveda (traditional East Indian preventiative medicine). Gives the reader a way to discover their own ayurvedic type and how the yoga poses affect their type, so they can adjust their yoga practice for better balance, health and clarity. I found this book very easy to understand and follow with comprehensive photos and detailed instructions for each posture. It is a practical guide to developing a more effective yoga practice. It has changed the way I understand and practice yoga in my life.

This book is unfortunately incomplete, although its intentions are good. Most people are combination types--kapha-pitta, vata-pitta, etc. but the book ignores this necessary fact in its presentation, and acts as though every person is a pure type. After a long, difficult search, I found this subject addressed AFTER the main body of the material--and not in any convenient or helpful manner. Both authors totally ignored my phone calls and emails asking for help on this issue, which doesn't do anything to inspire confidence or a positive attitude toward the book. Frawley is a prolific author and should do more than just present an overview, which would require a live teacher to make sense of the material.

If you want to make positive changes in your life through your yoga practice, this yoga book has it all from beginner to advanced: All the detail you will ever need about the poses, the background on the subjects, the test to know more about yourself (so you can apply the material), and the programs for practice. I used the practice programs in this book and they changed my life.
