by Lorna Bell and Eudora Seyfer Developed at the YWCA in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, GENTLE YOGA is a complete and practical guide for beginners and people with special needs, such as those with arthritis, stroke damage, or multiple sclerosis, and for those in wheelchairs. But it is also for those who want gentle, low-impact exercise to improve and maintain health. Clear, how-to instructions for yoga along with 135 illustrations, plus discussions on nutrition, stress management, breathing, and positive thinking. Testimonial: By H.P.Dansby,III, M.D. For those of us who through injury or illness, have had the great fortune of discovering the benefits of daily yoga practice, it is always a joy to find a book which crystallizes the essence of this deceptively powerful but gentle system. This book is a jewel, and I am pleased to recommend it as safe from a cardiovascular standpoint. Even the most restricted patients may quickly learn from the lucid descriptions and explanations of each posture. H.P. Dansby,III, M.D. |
