This is an excellent book on Yoga and stress reduction.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times (Paperback)
I have read just about every yoga book available and Relax and Renew is one of the best. This book's clear instruction and helpful photographs guide the reader into an experience of truly restorative and healing yoga. It is especially useful for those interested in how to practice yoga for stress reduction and relief of back pain, headaches, insomnia, and jet lag. It also teaches restful yoga postures women can practice to relieve the discomfort of their monthly cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. Moreoever, the depth of Relax and Renew makes this a book you want to return to again and again. Judith Lasater is an inspiring teacher, and her wisdom is abundantly available in this book, which I recommend highly to everyone.

The art of relaxation made easy.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times (Paperback)
This book is all about letting go by doing nothing purposefully. Judith Lasater, a very experienced Iyengar yoga teacher, shows the reader in words and pictures how to use everyday props (e.g., blankets, pillows,walls and floors) to travel the highway to the state of relaxation. I had the opportunity to practice restorative yoga with Ms. Lasater in Montana about two years ago and I can attest to the fact this yoga works to relax both the mental and physical muscles in the body if practiced regularly. Since most people can't go off to Montana to practice yoga, this book is the next best thing to being there.

A Spiritually-Inspired Book!,
This review is from: Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times (Paperback)
So much of "doing" yoga seems to focus on extreme physical performance. Judith's philosophy of just relaxing and doing it, is a great relief. Practicing yoga can become another chore, another ritual. This book is a welcome paradigm shift in the yoga world! For the eternal beginner in all of us!
