Description

A world-reknowned teacher shows how Yoga can not only make you feel better - it can make you feel well

Yoga offers a great, low-impact way to increase flexibility and reduce stress. It also provides an alternative or augmentation to mainstream medicine. This classic fully illustrated and easy-to-follow guide draws on both the physical and spiritual components of Yoga therapy to show how you can use Yoga to heal any number of afflictions. Some of the areas covered include:

- Common Aches and Pains: neck and shoulders, upper and lower back, hips and knees
- Chronic Disease: digestive and respiratory problems, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and endocrine systems
- Emotional Health: stress and disease,mental illness, anger, anxiety, and depression

Yoga for Wellness presents specific case studies and specific sequences, which can be adapted to your individual needs. And with photographs illustrating each step of every sequence, it the perfect book for beginners as well as experienced practioners including teachers.

"I highly recommend this fascinating, practical guide to the ancient art of Yoga." - Mitchell L Gaynor, M.D., Director of the Strang Cancer Prevention Center and author of Sounds of Healing

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
