For Dummies Books

Updated on September 16, 2010

For Dummies Useful Book Series

For years now the For Dummies books have provided lots of useful information on various topics and they have also been one of the most successful and easily recognizable book series to be found online and offline in book shops the world over, with Dummie books in various categories such as computing, art, life, money and other finely tuned niche topics that people actually need to know about.

The books are written in a style that appeals to lots of people who want to learn and in specialist subjects that are a learning process in themselves. Trying to list them all would take forever, so I thought I would list a few here and see what possible niches there are dummies looking for answers....

First up is a Yoga niche which if you are flexible enough you can learn simple Yoga techniques that will make you bendy and flexible.... and that is a good requirement to have to be able to do Yoga I would have thought. Yoga is not just considered a womans past time anymore as lots of guys (who aren't Gay or maybe they are, who knows the exact demographic!) are trying their hand at Yoga for it's many health benefits.

And the book explains about doing the basic Yoga positions and moves correctly, so that you don't do yourself an injury. (I had a strained bollock one time and that wasn't fun!)

If you are a dummie and yoga seems like something you want to try out then I would give this book a try...
