4.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for Beginners Who Just Can't Seem to Get Started!

This product is a series of books on yoga, mindfulness and other meditation practices.
BOOK ONE: MINDFULNESS
This book is great for understanding how mindfulness can benefit you physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. There are a ton of benefits mentioned throughout the book such as improved concentration, increased wisdom, eliminate or reduce stress, prevent health issues, eliminate depression or other mental illness, improve communication and relationships, live a happy, content life, and many more.
Not only are the benefits of mindfulness mentioned, but the author also describes numerous ways to achieve a state of mindfulness, including step-by-step instructions on how to get there. There are obviously habits that must be built up with patience, and over time, but this book helps make such a lofty goal seem obtainable! There are a list of exercises and meditation practices that you can incorporate into your daily routine. This is broken down for beginners and shows what different things to look for during your practice - such as posture, breathing, thoughts, etc.
BOOK TWO: YOGA
This book is intended for beginners who are full of questions about yoga practices and techniques. It is designed for those who are interested in yoga but just don't know where to start. The author outlines the need for balance in yoga: meditation, relaxation, exercise, healthy diet.
The book consists of the history of yoga and fun little facts about yoga - such as positions, the meaning behind different yoga methods, and famous yogi practitioners around the world. They even mention the holistic benefits from yoga.
I've always been confused on the different types and names of yoga, so I was very relieved to find them all listed in this book. I now easily understand what each yoga goal is meant to achieve in its practice. The same can be said for the numerous poses and postures, and what they each are meant to do to the body physically, mentally and emotionally. This book explains that as well.
BOOK THREE: YOGA DIET & PRACTICE
This book is a more practical guide on getting started with yoga. The book focuses on the different types of yoga, the different poses and postures, and how to begin in your practice.
It literally contains step-by-step instructions on how to sit in the pose, breathe in the pose, and where to place your hands, your feet, your thoughts, etc. It's so great!
The sessions are outline in a way that you can build up your yoga practice as you get better.
It even has a chapter for 5 minutes a day practices that are meant for busy people! So great!
OVERALL, this book is JAM-PACKED with information on yoga, meditation and poses for beginners who just can't seem to get started. Great resource to have!

This is a wonderful book for beginning yoga "students" or just those who want to learn about being emotionally healthier. It opens with a good discussion on the idea of mindfulness, the purpose of it, the ways to achieve it, and tips regarding it. I am very much a beginner in the world of being mindful. I have a long way to go before I am good at it, but I found these chapters to be a good start, with some good reminders of some of the things I have already read about mindfulness. One of my favorite tips was "Don't force your breathing. Rather, breathe calmly and naturally. If every breath you make is long or short, so be it." For me (and for many other "struggling students" of mindfulness, it is easy to get overly worried about whether or not we are breathing correctly. This was a good reminder to just let it go. Breathe but pay attention.
The next section of the book talks a bit about the origins of yoga, what it is, some facts about yoga, and the benefits of practicing it, broken into three major categories: the physical benefits, the psychological benefits, and the religious benefits. Later on in this section, the author introduces some of the most common types of yoga, including Iyengar, ashtanga, bikram, viniyoga, raja, bhakti, and mantra, giving short summaries of each and tips for choosing the right type of yoga for yourself. Within this section, there is great discussion on yoga postures too.
Next the author ventures into a focus on the topic of meditation. After a brief description of what is meditation, the readers embark upon the ABCs of meditation, with a page for each letter of the alphabet. For example, we hear "Meditation is like M because meditation with mantras is quite fun. Even if it is just for one hour, meditation with mantras can really bring you into that mental upswing..." Concluding this section are some words about the idea of "Zen."
Overall, I found the book to be very interesting and thought-provoking. I will need to go back and read it more in-depth again soon. Some of the sections are so chock-full of details that it was a bit overwhelming for a beginner. Still though, it was a very helpful and educational text. Disclaimer: I received my electronic version of the Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness Boxed Set at a discounted price for my honest review of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly a book that shall be appreciated by those looking for the comprehensive concepts of Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness

This is a series of 3 books, 3 topics, closely related to each other as Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga practice is a whole. I think the author’s main objective is to provide you with background and reliable information about how to perform several techniques, although not all techniques, but enough to become able to perform yoga practices, meditation and mind clearness.
Yoga is not only about postures, yoga is not only a way of eating, not only a way of thinking, is a full practice, to be applied at every day and at every single moment of your life. This is so deep and if you follow simple steps, you may change your life and the life of other that see you as your attitude and energy will influence/irradiate in a different and more profound way than you regularly do.
On this book you will find useful information about how to understand and practice yoga and its related concepts, this will become a healthier way of living and your body, soul and mind will certainly feel the difference between yesterday and today.
We may talk about the many books, videos, seminars, and further information about yoga techniques, mindfulness (focus and awareness), relaxation, meditation and many more concepts, but simple every day practice will endure and will provide you with a better sense of living than just living as you are doing today.
You may think that the author of this book shall include this technique or I can do a better technique or practice than the ones referred on this book, but I can honestly tell you this, do you remember when you had little or no knowledge about Yoga and its related concepts?
Perhaps you have forgotten where you come from, but if you follow the simple routines explained on this book, you will be able to keep in mind your origins, understand where you come from and understand where you want to go now. You will find in your innerself the strength to become a different individual than you are today if you follow and practice the simplicity of yoga philosophy as this is simple but highly efficient and proven way of living.
Hope that you will love this book in the same way I had and that it will inspire you to research furthermore and practice every day and every time you can, just keep in mind that yoga can be applied for every day routine and situation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner tips, slightly unprofessional in its presentation.

I have not read this book fully as of yet. What I have read is well written and thought out. There are three sections, or "books" for beginners included: one on Mindfulness, Yoga, and Meditation.
It starts with Mindfulness. Instead of jumping in to the how to's of achieving mindfulness, the author gives a background and the purpose of mindfulness, then moves into ways to achieving mindfulness. This section of the book is laid out in a way that makes it handy as a reference guide. Each section is under a clear outline heading which makes it easy to look back and refresh your mind as to what you have read without having to re-read the entire paragraph. The end of the mindfulness section includes additional tips for achieving mindfulness.
The Yoga book for beginners includes a guide for yoga diet, anatomy, fitness, weight loss, and more. This book seems not as well written and clear as the first, but I have not read it in its entirety yet. Because it is a beginners book, it goes into the history and origins of yoga, which I believe are important subjects to know regarding any practice.
The last section is on Meditation for beginners. This part of the book is short and to the point, which is good for those of us who want to get into meditation to reduce stress. I have only skimmed through sections of this book. I have seen several good tips and pointers on how to meditate which make it easy.
The pictures in both the Yoga and Meditation books are wonky. I have no other word to describe them. They give the books a cheap and unprofessional feel. But they are just the pictures, not the content.
I did receive this product at a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very easy to read guide to understanding the world you enter when starting yoga

I am a new yogi, actually I have been practicing on a regular basis now for three months, the same time the author states she has been practicing in her book. I found that the progression of the book was well planning and gives a good basic understanding of mindfuIness, yoga and meditation. I did feel the "facts" as inserted were distracting. I found myself feeling forced to read them when really I just wanted to continue with the rest of the book. Not a big deal but felt it was enough of a distraction to mention it. The book gives an excellent description of routines you can use throughout your day. There are a few that are spelled out completely from beginning to end describing each movement. I really liked that she took the time to talk you through a movement not just telling you to find downward dog but talking you into, through and out of the position. I do not myself meditate yet but after reading these books think I will start incorporating meditation into my morning and bedtime routines. I will be teaching a group of teens a beginning yoga class next fall and I will be using this book as a resource to help them to understand the types of yoga and benefits of it as well as the benefits of meditation and mindfullness. I read this set over the course of a day between cooking breakfast, cleaning the house and making dinner. It was easy to follow and presented a lot of explanation and definitions and I wanted to get back to it as soon as I could each time I put it down. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU

This ebook is absolutely full of information. It is intended for those at a beginner's level. If you have read any books on any of the three subjects, don't expect a lot of new information here, but if this is your first step into any of the three subjects, THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU. It has great detail and covers just about anything a beginner needs to know to get started! I really enjoyed this book, and I might look back on it for a refresher from time to time. My only complaint would be that it would be nice to have some pictures in the yoga section to know what the pose looks like, even though the author does a great job describing each pose!
Disclaimer: I received this item at a discount or free in exchange for my honest review. I only request to review items I will use on a regular basis, and items that I believe will be of good quality as to not waste my time or the time of the seller. Because of this I do not often need to review negatively, but I have when the product was poor. I try to review items imagining how I would feel if I had paid full price. Influencing people into purchasing items that I myself would not buy again at full price is just not who I am, so please take this review as the honest truth, not a review of someone who feels some sort of obligation to review well for any reason.

After reading this ebook set it was obvious to me that the authors not only had extensive knowledge on the subject matter but also lived the life.
I found the books to be easy to read and simple to understand, even for someone who may just be getting into yoga and meditation such as someone like myself. With all the stress in life today, I was unsure where I would find the time to relax and refocus myself. This book teaches you quick, simple and useful techniques to do so. It also thoroughly explains why we do the poses and the benefits of each of them. While Yoga seems to be the main focus of the book set, it is much more than that. There is also a clear focus and understanding of meditation and mindfulness as well. Giving great tips and techniques on how to incorporate both into your daily life. I wish there were more pictures in the book, showing you the different techniques and poses. The book seems a little brief, but I guess for beginners, the brevity is ok. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to begin learning how to become more a mindful person, practice yoga, or learn to meditate. I have received this item for a discount in exchange for an honest review to help potential consumers make an informed purchase decision. I may give my unbiased opinion and I do not have to provide a five-star rating for this item.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to understand and follow

This is actually a series of three books, and each one is on a different although closely related topic
The first part of this book is on mindfulness. It is written in a simple mindful manner, easy to understand and follow. It explains the benefits of becoming more mindful in your everyday life. It even explains how you can do mindful exercises while doing your mundane everyday task. The many gains from practicing mindfulness include, but are not limited to, higher quality of sleep, reduced/eliminated stress, mental clarity, more energy, and a better outlook on life. The Author not only gives you the reasons you should practice mental clarity, they also give detailed instructions and great tips on how to achieve them.
There is a lot in the book about yoga. This section is gives a lot of great details on the history behind yoga and the many health benefits. The author also stresses the need for balance when practicing yoga. (no pun intended ;) ) When you practice yoga you need to couple it with meditation and healthy eating. The different types of yoga, and the meaning behind them can also be found in the book.
Then, there is a practical guide to yoga. it gives you some poses and teaches you how to breath, where to put your hands and feet, and most inportantly, what and how to think when doing yoga.
My favorite part is the 5 minutes a day yoga for busy people! i have started at in my nightly routine and it's is amazing.
this book is full of wonderful information on yoga for everyone. even if you already know a lot about yoga and especially if you know nothing.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

This is a pretty long book so I have not quite had time to finish, but based on what I have read, this book is more of an informational book on yoga rather than a book that helps you achieve yoga successfully. There aren't any pictures at all to help you achieve the poses. This is one of the things I always find frustrating with yoga books, which is why I opt for videos instead. On another note, one of my favorite parts of this book is how the author breaks down the different types of yoga. Curiosity got the best of me after reading several chapters so I skimmed through to the end just to see if there would be any pictures towards the end of the book. To my surprise, the author included history and facts on different forms of yoga. This is one of the best features in this book by far! Many people do not realize that yoga isn't just yoga. There are several forms of yoga, each providing different benefits. Another great feature is the fact that the book does touch on meditation and mindfulness. All of these components work well together and can be a great asset to your well-being. Good book, but would have been even better had there been pictures to follow. I did receive this book free for my honest and unbiased review.
