I'm not sure why, but Every Body Yoga is now showing up with a different cover. The cover that I have is no longer listed as one of the editions, but it looked like the one I added above. Unfortunately, I could not link the book with that cover due to the edition being removed, so I added a picture with the covers and the link here.
