by Rachel Newcombe Part one starts with the basics, detailing what therapeutic yoga is and what it involves. All the benefits of yoga, such as increasing your energy, stretching muscles and improving circulation, are explained, and it provides the crucial details of how to practice the method. Part two offers a guide to healthy living, covering topics such as diet, massage (self and others) and breath control, and offers a yoga programme aimed to improve your well being. In part three you’ll find ways of using yoga therapy to aid specific ailments. Amongst the variety of health issues covered, there are ideas for helping irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, arthritis, headaches and backache. Not content to merely provide yoga exercise, the authors also offer their top tips on combating each condition, for example, dietary means of easing irritable bowel syndrome or headaches. The book is illustrated throughout with clear photographs, ensuring the reader effortlessly grasps the basics of the positions explained. Written by celebrity doctor, author and pioneer of integrated medicine, Dr. Mosaraf Ali, and Jiwan Brar, a practitioner of therapeutic yoga, you can be sure you’re getting the best advice.
If you’ve never tried yoga or assumed it’s a tricky
method only suitable for super-fit flexible individuals, think
again. This book opens up the world of yoga, extending its benefits
to include healing for common conditions and making it practical
and applicable to everyone. Rachel
