Yoga Therapy: Foundations, Methods, and Practices for Common

Yoga Therapy: Foundations, Methods, and Practices for Common Ailments

From the best-selling author ofÂ Teaching Yoga, Yoga Sequencing,Â andÂ Yoga AdjustmentsÂ comes this essential resource for learning how to adapt yoga practices to best accommodate and heal a wide array of common injuries and ailments. Surveying historical writings on yoga, ayurveda, and scientific medical approaches to health and healing, Mark Stephens distills this received wisdom of ancient and modern practices for more insightful and practical application in todayâ€™s world. He applies these insights to healing musculoskeletal injuries; promoting a healthy reproductive system; and addressing mental, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. With each health condition, Stephens applies yoga to the most recent evidence-based practices for healing, offering an integral place for yoga in integrative health practices.

Yoga TherapyÂ is a practical manual with a systematic approach of considering the nature of each health condition and the specific asanas, pranayamas, and meditations most helpful in healing it. Rather than adopting a narrow medical model of healing as the reduction or elimination of symptoms, Stephens invites yoga theapists, teachers and students to relate to health as a continuous, dynamic process of self-care in which the qualities of personal experience and social connectivity matter. He illustrates that how we live our livesâ€”including our emotional states, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and sense of purposeâ€”is reflected in our sense of balance (or imbalance) and well-being (or disease). Comprehensive, accessible, and informed by Mark Stephensâ€™ decades of deep study, practice, and teaching, this will become an indispensable reference.
