Yoga As Therapy: Volumes 1 and 2

The combined set of both volumes 1 and 2 of 'Yoga As Therapy' provides an integrated approach to therapeutic applications of yoga that covers anatomical and Ayurvedic understanding of therapeutic problems and how they arise, as well as practical approaches through contemporary alignment-based hatha yoga postural practice to overcoming them. The set is a resource that is useful and accessible to yoga teachers as well as practitioners. Both books are heavily illustrated with anatomical details as well illustrations of applications of these insights in the poses.

Volume 1

Volume 1 provides the 'Foundations' or 'Big Picture' for our therapeutic approach, in terms of both an anatomical overview utilizing Tom Myer's myofascial meridians from his book 'Anatomy Trains' while relating these insights to the Ayurvedic system of Marma Therapy. The section on the shoulders is especially detailed, to provide an in-depth understanding of rotator cuff problems.

Volume 2

Volume 2 'zooms in' on specific problem areas of the body, and the therapeutic problems that commonly arise in these areas — such as feet, knees, hip pain, sacral issues, rotator cuff injury, and so on. Remedial exercises as well as applications in and through hatha yoga poses are covered, and there is an extensive section on scoliosis at the end of the book.
