Perfectly Imperfect: The Art and Soul of Yoga Practice Hardcover – May 3, 2016

I started practicing yoga a few months ago and wanted to educate myself further with reading material. This book was exactly what I needed! It’s a beginners guide that is very easy to read & understand. Turns out my yoga teacher has been certified by Baron- so cool :)

Barron is first kind and patient then he works hard. Then he enjoys and resets. I personally am not sure of the future of yoga for me. I am only beginning but I am inspired and I believe and can understand his elevated view of yoga. But I already know what it is that truly plants my feet on the ground. Maybe my yoga matt and baby pose will find a way to sustain itself as a daily practice in my life. We will see. It has started kind and has grown as work and as enjoyment. It is a new friend , but more important perhaps is I have made a deeper friend with myself as a result of this man. He feels like a friend and not a guru. I don't mean to say I don't feel utterly exposed and tempted to sulk in shame, but I have nothing really to loose since I have only just begun. I forgive the past and my self crippling cowardly fears that only perpetuate the dangers they say they avoid. I am curious about my future with yoga, but I am certain I am a better man having gotten to know this old soul. Yoga maybe maybe not, it seem to soon to say, but becoming a yogi, hah I can't imagine not being one.

Absolutely loved reading this book. It’s a great complement to any yogi wanting to deepen their practice on and off the mat.

Inspiring read that will help you focus your efforts in life through the use of yoga and it’s principals. The book is written in a fluid, candid and very easy to understand way. I am new to yoga and this book helps you understand and strive to better yourself.

I like this book so much, I gave my original dog-ear copy to a friend of mine, and ordered another. Baron gives wonderful insight for life on and off the mat. This is definitely a "self help" book for people like me who avoid most "self help" books like Covid. ;-)

This book has been absorbed by my body and subconscious. I took it slowly, dipping into the book over a month and pausing to digest, reread parts and process. Sometimes during the last month, including today, I have found myself thanking Baron on the mat during my practice, the thanks thought springing into my mind. A beautiful book.

I read (past & present) bits of this book daily as I sweat in the sauna. It helps uplift my mind. It helps me understand the transformational path of yoga. Each time I attend my local yoga class I allow myself to say YES and be open to what can happen on the mat that day. Remembering the concept BEGIN AGAIN keeps me returning over and over. Now that I have just finished the book that's just what I will do...begin again exposing my mind to its many offerings, knowing that each day a different self steps forward to carry on the process.

For a fan and follower of the Baptiste method, I grew a little more by reading his latest book. Thank you, Baron, for sharing your journey so that we may benefit. I feel better about just practicing as often as I can without a specific goal in mind. Reinforcing how powerful the journey can be and reminding us that we all can push too far to no avail was good to hear from an expert.

I loved reading this book and am grateful a person like Baron exists! I feel this book is a great tool for people who are quite new to yoga (like me) and wish to deepen their practice. Thank you, Baron, namaste.

One of the best books on yoga.

I'm happy with my purchase. I highly recommend.

Great audio book, not listened to all of it yet but super so far

Found this book very insightful. Very beautifully written and easy to follow. Great to get more from your yoga practice on and off the mat.
