El Yoga Curativo

Synthesizing all of the wisdom and experience of practicing healing or therapeutic yoga, this guide describes how each pose can be used to optimize well-being and achieve healing. An introduction to the history and practice--both mental and physical--of yoga is followed by a discussion of the relationship between yoga and health. The bulk of the book, however, focuses on how to apply the principles of yoga to a range of maladies, including arthritis, asthma, fatigue, insomnia, and hypertension. Readers who have studied and practiced yoga for years as well as those who have only recently incorporated it into their routine will find all the information they'll need to develop their own plan for healing.
