A Great Yoga eBook
Scribd.com is a site where one can upload documents, books, papers that one has written or has copyright privileges to. It supports many formats (PDF included) and even allows you to download a piece of work if you are allowed to by the original author who uploaded the document/book.

I found this world-famous Maran Illustrated Yoga ebook that can be read at Scribd’s site.
Here are the links to some chapters. Other chapters are not available at the site.
I have browsed the ebook’s chapters and found it very helpful and informative regardless of the yoga level you are in (beginner or avid yogi/yogini). Hope you find it as interesting as I did!

About Me
Yoga Girl from www.yogalifestyle.com
Namaste!
I’m Jane, a Filipina from Manila, Philippines. I practise hatha vinyasa yoga and continue to reap so many health and spiritual benefits from it.
Through this blog I hope to:
* chronicle my journey as a yogini-come-lately *
* include the different styles of yoga available in the Philippines
* provide the location of yoga studios *
* write about the local instructors *
* point you to yoga accessories and books locally available *
* talk with you about anything on yoga *
I will always be a work in progress but I hope that you will journey with me and share your own yoga experiences.
