Power and Grace: Healing with Yoga for Boomers and Beyond

by Catherine R. Stallworth

Book Overview

Anyone of any ability can enjoy the benefits of yoga at any age. Many people think they can't practice yoga, because they aren't flexible enough, or strong enough, or thin enough, or young enough. If life has knocked you around a bit, whether physically or mentally, yoga may be just what you need for healing and rejuvenation. EveryBODY can benefit from the practice of yoga. For most people, the physical benefits continue throughout life and many report that the mental and spiritual benefits actually increase with age. This book describes yoga in a manner that is accessible to people of all abilities. If you are a student new to yoga or have any physical challenges, this book is written especially for YOU. The poses have been modified in order to be practiced by all students of yoga regardless of physical ability. Each pose includes a description of the benefits and precautions followed by detailed instructions of the posture. The poses are described in their original form and in modified forms for students who need the additional support of a chair or a bed.
