Like all authors, I click my heels when readers post positive 5 stars reviews! A deep bow of gratitude to these 3 readers:Great Book, Great Teacher!
By Diana Lang(Los Angeles, California)
Suza Francina is a long-time teacher in California, one of the first before yoga became trendy. She is the real thing. A wonderful teacher on structural alignment and changing inefficient life patterns in the body, no matter what your age. As a yoga teacher myself, since 1980, I recommend her book to my students all the time. As the old teachings say, 50 is the perfect age to engage in hatha yoga, and Suza’s book is a perfect way to begin.

Renewed my passion for yoga!,
By Kathy
I am 54 years old, have practiced yoga off and on for a few years. I purchased this book because I wanted to make sure I could truly enjoy my golden years. This book has renewed my passion for yoga, so much so I plan on learning yoga and teach at senior centers. There are amazing stories of people in their seventies and eighties who are more flexible than me! I hope to be that eighty year old who can sit in lotus, can’t do it now but how knows. There are lots of modifications for poses to help you work on your flexibility.

Full Moon Blessings on my writing yoga life. This is a time for renewal, reconciliation, integration, and moving both physically and psychologically into the next phase of life.

Only two more weeks till I move to my new digs in the heart of downtown Ojai. Looking back, all the twists and turns these last few months are starting to make more sense!

The New Yoga for People Over 50 is available on amazon.com and other sites, as well as bookstores nationally and internationally. It has been translated in many languages, including German and Russian. And I’m proud to say that it’s on the recommended reading list of yoga teacher training programs around the world.
