Gentle Yoga presents the unique and important combination of gentle stretching, conscious breathing, and safe, strength-building poses to recover from the effects of surgery, bed rest, and chemotherapy-induced fatigue.

Charles Bates
Draws parallels between modern and ancient systems of personal transformation. The methods Bates offers are some of those by which the sages of old ransomed the mind from the darkness of ignorance and dysfunction, turning it towards its next stage of development, the realisation of transcendent self. "His application of yoga to traditional therapy supports the increasing trends of such pivotal mind/body integration educators as Stanley Keleman, Ilana Rubenfeld and Swami Rama." "Provides a comprehensive answer to the fatal flaw of modern therapy - narrow specialism. Rather than treating people as if they were comprised of independent and isolated parts, he gives a truly holistic approach, integrating all levels of human functioning.

Gregory P Fields
Religious Therapeutics explores the relationship between psychophysical health and spiritual health and presents a model for interpreting connections between religion and medicine in world traditions. This model emerges from the work's investigation of health and religiousness in classical Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra - three Hindu traditions noteworthy for the central role they accord the body. Author Gregory P. Fields compares Anglo-European and Indian philosophies of body and health and uses fifteen determinants of health excavated from texts of ancient Hindu medicine to show that health concerns the person, not the body or body/mind alone. This book elucidates multifaceted views of health, and--in the context of spirituality and healing - explores themes such as mental health, meditation, and music. "This book renders the Indian traditions of Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra with great vividness, in terms that Westerners can understand, yet without concealing the profound foreignness of Indian culture. The work is timely and important. Its massive scholarship presents a forceful case for recognizing the contemporary relevance of Indian religious therapeutics. ...fascinating and lucid." - S. Cromwell Crawford.

A G Mohan
Most people think of yoga as a solitary activity that is inherently therapeutic. While that is generally true, yoga poses and breathing practices can also be prescribed for specific health problems - often in combination with dietary advice taken from Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine. Yoga Therapy is an essential guide for yoga teachers, advanced practitioners, and anyone who wants to make therapeutic use of yoga. A. G. Mohan, a yoga therapist and teacher, prescribes postures, breathing techniques, and basic Ayurvedic principles for a variety of common health problems, including asthma, back pain, constipation, hip pain, knee pain, menstrual problems, and scoliosis. Yoga Therapy is one of the few books that shows yoga teachers how to put together appropriate yoga sequences and breathing techniques for their students. Mohan details how to correctly move into, hold, and move out of poses, how to breathe during practice to achieve specific results, and how to "customize" a yoga practice by creating sequences of yoga poses for a particular person.
