Product Description
Product Description
Arthritis restricts movement; yoga increases range of motion: these two were made for each other. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in this country, limiting everyday activities for more than seven million Americans. Drugs, surgeries, and steroids can alleviate some of the discomforts, but study after study has shown that exercise is most beneficial to most forms of arthritis, specifically low-impact, flexibility-enhancing exercises hence, yoga. In this comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated guide, Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall, who between them have seven decades of clinical experience, help readers understand arthritis and give a spectrum of exercises for beginners and experts. Broken down into chapters focusing on each major joint, there are 100 classical yoga poses and numerous imaginative and physiologically sound adapted poses, all with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow photo demonstrations. The authors welcome readers into the philosophy and principles of yoga and show how to use yoga to find lasting relief from arthritis.

This is a good book that gives yoga teachers - as well as others useful information on postures suitable for those with arthritis.
To really gain insight as to whether this book really helps I suppose it would be necassary to ask arthritis sufferers. I haven't had that chance yet. However, I know that I will go back to this book a lot when planning lessons so I am certainly glad I bought it.
A useful resource for teachers.

Bit difficult to plough through the book, but worth it as regards arthritis. If you do suffer from arthritis and want to take up yoga, it is probably worth reading this first. Yoga is not for all arthritis sufferers, but if you pain is only moderate, it may be worthwhile trying. This book gives suggestions about which poses aid and which to be avoided.
