Up-to-date scientific evidence on the benefits and risks of yoga practice. Answers to important questions are presented in a conversational but objective manner. Does yoga work for chronic pain, depression, PMS and menopausal symptoms? To invert or not during menstruation? Does yoga really help with diseases like cancer or cardiac disease? What postures are safe during pregnancy? Does yoga help us breathe better?
A treasure-trove of information, quotes and stories makes this essential reading for yoga teachers, therapists, students and practitioners, as well as for researchers, health-care providers and policy makers with an interest in yoga. Important takeaways are presented in an easy-to-read, digestible format. Key points, stories from practitioners, fun illustrations and the oodles of quotations all make the information accessible.
Each chapter ends with Tips for Teachers & Therapists and Tips for Students for particular issues (e.g. diabetes, asthma, PTSD, etc.) gleaned from the author's careful reading of the evidence available. These comprise an invaluable resource for informed decision-making, both in the teaching and practice of yoga.
The author, Mary Flaherty, PhD has had a life-long dual passion for both science and yoga. As an academic she has worked at universities in Europe, Japan and Australia. She is a dedicated science communicator, writer, psychologist and yoga teacher. She has also drawn the illustrations and cartoons which bring the data to life. Fully referenced and indexed.
