Easy Does It Yoga

Excellent reference books for those who need to sit in a chair and do yoga. Also has a very good overview of what yoga is all about. Would like to see a sequel to this book that does even more for those who need chair yoga! Thanks, Phil Pabich

Easy to follow yoga program

The book is easy to follow and offers different variations of poses for gentle yoga and for those who have limitations due to health issues and who may need to do yoga seated in a chair.

I am excited about this book!

As a Yoga teacher I frequently review yoga books for ideas and new information. I am very excited about Easy Does It Yoga! Could it be that finally Yoga has come of age? This book might just persuade the Yoga doubters to view Yoga as an acceptable exercise that truly will benefit the mind, body and spirit in the present and on into aging. The author, Alice Christensen, has written a comprehensive and compassionate book on Yoga and its tremendous health benefits for the older person, and indeed, anyone physically challenged by bad health, addictions and inertia. The various disciplines of yoga are discussed and benefits illustrated by case examples. The exercises are well detailed in words and pictures. Nutrition is covered in a reader friendly style that lists detailed menus of wholesome foods. Easy Does It Yoga should be required reading for any business involved in the health care needs of today's older population.
