Here is a book of not-too-challenging Hatha yoga poses and lifestyle recommendations for optimal healing. This yoga program begins by advising readers to habitually practice journal-keeping, affirmations, and visualization. Cunningham, a yoga instructor who specializes in recovery, has selected 35 basic yoga moves that enhance physical, emotional, and mental healing. The author also teaches how to use controlled breathing methods to calm the mind and bring about a sense of physical contentment. Though Cunningham does not limit her discussions to specific types of healing, she does offer special advice for those who have been hurt or are recovering from illness. Other pointers, such as dietary tips, are offered to create the full spectrum of yoga's healing potential. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
