Product Description
Book Description
Healing Yoga is the first fully illustrated book to outline the connection between yoga and the chakras, the body's vital energy centers where our spiritual and physical well-being dovetail. Practicing this form of yoga, according to the author, maximizes the benefits of restoring balance and harmony and maintaining vitality. Detailed in full-color photos are the asanas, breathwork, mudras, visualizations, and mantras which connect to each chakra. These color photographs throughout the book make the yoga positions easy to follow and understand. Healing Yoga also includes a section on yoga for specific ailments, including migraines, high blood pressure, and depression. The author, a highly regarded Hindu monk, has been teaching yoga for more than twenty-five years.

Beginner Yogini,
By Judith E. Potter (Bloomfield Hills, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Yoga: A Guide to Integrating the Chakras With Your Yoga Practice (Paperback)
The book Healing Yoga is a continued help to me. Each beautiful page holds positions (asanas) to bring this 57 year old body back to improved health. The pictures are clear and the information easy to follow. I have increased energy and am delighted to find I actually need an hour less of sleep at night. I carry this book with me in my travels and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a new adventure.

This review is from: Healing Yoga: A Guide to Integrating the Chakras With Your Yoga Practice (Paperback)
I am frequently disappointed with yoga books--but this book, upon first review, keeps me interested as there is a good deal of new information here. The illustrations (photographs) are abundant and helpful. Although I have not had the chance yet to begin the practice, I look forward to learning much from this book. I WAS disappointed, however, that it did not address asanas for migraines, as the publisher's description promised. This aside, I think there's alot of good information in this book and it seems well worth the price.

Best instruction,
By L. L. Potter "Gotta have variety" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Yoga: A Guide to Integrating the Chakras With Your Yoga Practice (Paperback)
After developing a touch of arthritis mid-lower back, I began seeking yoga asanas to relieve the area after workouts. I bought a LOT of books, DVDs and CDS. This is BY FAR the best for great instruction for whatever area you need, or for generally enhancing your strengthening yoga practice. I keep this book in my workout room for after my cardio and strength training. Because of my work with this book, I no longer experience lower back or hip pain. The book gives you some inner guidance to work with as well; I find that goes hand-in-hand with the physical, but as any yoga student will tell you, the asanas alone will heal you inside and out if you simply practice them.
