| Summary |
"The book defines yoga therapy as a multifaceted approach to wellness, including the energetic, emotional and spiritual. Yoga therapy is not only asanas/postures and breathing (though these are important); and it is not about simply alleviating symptoms - it is a whole person practice. The book covers deep yogic work and applies this to cancer patients, as well as a range of other chronic conditions. There is a danger of the Western medical world's acceptance of yoga therapy being limited to postures and breathing and this book makes the case for a wider definition of yoga therapy and its applications. The book clarifies yogic concepts and brings them from theory into practical application"-- Provided by publisher |
