Chapter One describes the five major parts of the Easy Does It Yoga program. They are exercises, breathing techniques, relaxation and meditation, nutrition, and philosophy. The exercises are gentle movements that can be done in a chair, in bed, in a pool, in a wheelchair or on the floor. The breathing techniques are slow, mild practices that strengthen the respiratory system. Step by step instructions are given to help the yogi learn relaxation and meditation.
Nutrition is a big part of health, and some suggestions are given to improve the diet.
Finally, the philosophy of yoga is discussed to promote creative thought and inner growth. One of the most daunting tasks to approaching yoga is getting started. This is tackled in Chapter Two, which gives simple ideas about daily schedule, checking with your doctor, place and time, what to wear, etc. This chapter also gives some ideas of what can be done for chronic conditions.
