The American Yoga Association's Easy Does It Yoga : The Safe and Gentle Way to Health and Well-Being
Christensen, the author of several books about yoga and founder of the American Yoga Association, has written a sensible, encouraging, and clear-cut guidebook for establishing a personal, comprehensive breathing-exercise-meditation yoga program. She targets older adults and persons with chronic medical conditions who may require a gentle or modified approach to exercise. Easy routines for standing, sitting, and lying postures are outlined, and because this is meant as a practice manual, each routine is accompanied by an easy-to-follow photograph and an explanation. The author provides additional variations and cautions as alternatives for those who need them. Informative chapters cover nutrition, breathing, meditation, yoga philosophy, and relaxation techniques, and appendixes list additional sources of information. Recommended for public libraries, academic libraries, and wellness collections.ADeborah Anne Broocker, Learning Resources Ctr., Georgia Perimeter Coll., DunwoodyCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
