Discover the yoga and movement therapies at the heart of health in later life through this accessible guide for teachers and therapists.

Beth Spindler has devised innovative movement practices based around acknowledging the trauma and vulnerability that come with a lifetime of memories. Trauma can exacerbate the effects of illnesses and conditions common in older adults, including depression, dementia, Parkinson's and arthritis. The movement and yoga therapeutics in this volume take a holistic approach to healing trauma alongside gentle practices to aide in managing symptoms in later life. Each chapter takes on a different condition or situation, explores how they can relate to trauma, and provides both the physical movement and the breathing exercises to address the issue.

Complete with illustrations and adaptations for any setting or ability, the practices in this guide are suitable for many practitioners working with either individuals or groups.
