    This review is from: Yoga for Arthritis: The Complete Guide (Paperback)

    Get this book if you have arthritis, would like to try some exercise for it, and like yoga. Well, even if you don’t like yoga, there are a lot of reasons to try it- such as it’s safe and gentle, and you can do it in the privacy of your own home. A few of the things I liked best…

    -the book is about yoga for people with “arthritis”-whether you have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or even a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis. This is what makes this book so good- it works for all the different types.

    -the book is written in layman’s terms. The book does go into some technical explanations about what arthritis is and explains how the joints work at the beginning of each chapter- but not to worry, its all very understandable

    -the book’s about an inch thick which is mainly because of its numerous pictures of all the exercises- which is a big plus for visual learners like me

    -chapters are arranged by body part, for example the shoulders, the wrist and hand, etc., so no arthritic area is left out. Chapter 5 is an “All-Stars” chapter that contains a generalized program if you don’t want to focus on one specific area(s).

    All-in-all its just a very well-rounded, complete book that is really well-written and illustrated. If you’ve got arthritis, I can tell you you’re going to feel a lot better when you get those joints working better, and this book can certainly help you do that. Other helpful arthritic books I liked include Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis.

    wonderful resource for those who have physical issues, March 13, 2008

    This review is from: Yoga for Arthritis: The Complete Guide (Paperback)

    I am 64 and love yoga but i have some chronic conditions, an arthritic knee, flare-ups of trochanteric bursitis, and spinal stenosis. I was trying by trial and error to figure what yoga postures helped and what didn’t, but it really helps to have a source book that tells you what you can do and what not to do. This book does that.

    I have been waiting for a book like this for a long time, and as soon as it was available turned to it for help. The blessing is that you can quickly turn to an area of the body that you need to deal with, like knees or lumbar spine, and find out what to do, and every time you go back you can deepen your understanding, the book is that rich.

    The pictures and explanations are clear. It’s really cheap at the price. Many thanks to the authors.
