The Yoga Body Diet by John Douillard and Kristen Schultz Dollard
This diet gives you a long and lean yoga body by teaching you how to eat right for your type. No yoga experience is necessary, and you don’t even have to be able to touch your toes to follow the program. With a simple self-test, discover whether you are Pitta (fire: tending toward irritability), Kapha (earth: tending toward sluggishness), or Vata (air: a bit on the flighty side). Once you know your type, the 8-week plan provides eating guidelines, meal plans, and 75 recipes for food that tastes nothing like bland diet fare.

Yoga for Inner Strength by Jessie Chapman
Postures for your body, mind and soul. Australia’s bestselling yoga author returns with her fourth book, Yoga for Inner Strength. It is based on Vinyasa yoga, a very active form of yoga that moves a person quickly through the poses, not holding them as long as in other styles. It is virtually guaranteed to make them sweat a lot and is not for the faint of heart, giving a real challenge to the muscles. Vinyasa yoga became famous through celebrities such as Madonna using it to tone up after the birth of her son. The yoga is more challenging in this book than other books, so it will greatly appeal to the ever increasing fitness market and those already practising yoga but wanting to move into something more dynamic.
