This book was under all critique. It was completely molded and dreadfully wrapped. So I am not able to read it. It cost me enough too!
Rating: 1 / 5

Rating: 5 / 5
I have been practicing Yoga for many years and see the difference that it has made for me. This book really qualifies the benfits that I have seen personally and it has helped to structure poses for my specific requirements. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding and practice of Yoga.
Rating: 5 / 5
A very good book to increase the understanding of the different types and postures of yoga for medical purposes and even just for physical and mental well being, and understanding our body and mind better. We will need not only to continuously practice, but also reviewing the practice to see if it is the right way and also what’s right for our individual body. What helps more, as a health practitioner, is seeing when the modern medicine has its limitation in treating chronic conditions and mental health issues, some people may find a way out in Yoga.

This book really focuses on yoga for diseases not conditions. I was disappointed as I prefer to know what poses are good for more common ailments like the flu or cramps? I didn’t like the book style where he talks to a bunch of experts. Lastly all the pose recommendations are at a beginner level and I have been doing yoga for years so most information applies to the beginner. Sorry I wasted my money – will resell.
