Yoga for Arthritis Print E-mail
This excellent book covers the therapeutic applications of yoga for all types of arthritic conditions.  The excellent overview of the pathology of arthritis, and the brief introduction to the therapeutic benefits of yoga, sets the foundation for the rest of the book, which is organized primarily by the effected joint.  Each joint is addressed in detail with a list of poses that activate and benefit the joint, and each chapter ends with a table summarizing the poses intensity and actions on the joint.  Many of the yoga poses utilize modifications with props (primarily chairs and straps) and have two stages to work with to suit all levels of ability. 

The detailed step-by-step instructions for the yoga poses are illustrated with numerous photographs and illustrations, making it easy to see and understand the described exercises. The thoroughness and depth of this book make it an essential resource for yoga teachers and therapists, as well as being an invaluable tool for the understanding and healing of arthritis for those effected with this disease.

Yogic Wisdom
Patience can't be acquired overnight. It is just like building up a muscle. Every day you need to work on it.
Eknath Easwaran

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
