        How many overweight people have wanted to begin an exercise program but have been discouraged by the photographs showing sylphlike models doing impossible things? Kollak (Alice Salomon Univ. of Applied Sciences, Berlin), a licensed yoga teacher and registered nurse, addresses this problem. This excellent book depicts real women performing yoga postures, some with modifications for limited reach, providing a much more accessible program than is often found. Kollak explains and illustrates postures and mentions various physical problems that these positions might alleviate. The reader is encouraged to create a personalized routine. Testimonials describe improved health and energy as well as lowered blood pressure. This work should appeal to larger women, but it would also be helpful for those with other limitations, such as arthritis. VERDICT Comprehensive and well done. Recommended.--Susan B. Hagloch, formerly with Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, OH
