Written by two senior yoga teachers, one of whom first embraced these techniques as a way to manage his own symptoms of multiple sclerosis, this is a comprehensive guide to applying the principles of yoga to the management of MS. The first section is a straightforward but gentle introduction to yoga - a therapeutic approach to the practice itself. The second part is functionally oriented. Different yoga poses that work toward a common goal, such as combating fatigue, reducing spasticity, and increasing range of motion, are included and illustrated. This user-friendly guide:
- Describes how yoga works
- Includes photographs and descriptions of each pose
- Explains effects, advantages, and contraindications
- Contains "starter poses" that will help the uninitiated or physically challenged to gently achieve a posture
This book is an excellent guide and tool for people with MS, people who undertake yoga on their own, and for all members of the medical and yoga communities.
