"This is a must-have volume for any serious yoga student,
whether a yoga therapist or just an everyday practitioner. The mix
of both theoretical and practical information allows readers to
learn not only about the daily work of yoga, but its essential

內容簡介:
Most people think of yoga as a solitary activity that is
inherently therapeutic. While that is generally true, yoga poses
and breathing practices can also be prescribed for specific health
problems—often in combination with dietary advice taken from
Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine. Yoga Therapy is an essential
guide for yoga teachers, advanced practitioners, and anyone who
wants to make therapeutic use of yoga. A. G. and Indra Mohan
prescribe postures, breathing techniques, and basic Ayurvedic
principles for a variety of common health problems, including
asthma, back pain, constipation, hip pain, knee pain, menstrual
problems, and scoliosis.
Yoga Therapy is one of the few books that shows yoga teachers how
to put together appropriate yoga sequences and breathing techniques
for their students. Mohan details how to correctly move into, hold,
and move out of poses, how to breathe during practice to achieve
specific results, and how to customize a yoga practice by creating
sequences of yoga poses for a particular person.
