Great descriptive pictures of yoga positions!,

This review is from: Yoga for Pain Relief: Simple Practices to Calm Your Mind and Heal Your Chronic Pain (Paperback)
While I have practiced yoga for 6 years now, I want to be able to do it at home without the supervison of the yogi and at my own speed. This so far seems to be a great book in its description of positions that are appropriate for those who have Chronic Pain and only can do a few moves at a time not to over stress their body.

Yoga for Pain Relief is a must have.,

This review is from: Yoga for Pain Relief: Simple Practices to Calm Your Mind and Heal Your Chronic Pain (Paperback)
If you are interested in health, well-being or yoga this book is a must have. As a yoga instructor here are a few reasons why I loved it. 1. The practices and recommendations are accessible to everyone and benefit beginning to experienced practitioners. 2. The practices can be readily integrated into a group yoga class and into working one-on-one with people. 3. The recommendations are supported by both western medical evidence and the yogic tradition. 4. To reduce stress, lower back, neck and shoulder pain, I've integrated several of the recommendations into my personal practice, and have felt an immediate and positive difference.

A powerful tool for helping my wife deal with her chronic pain,
By Kiyash Monsef - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yoga for Pain Relief: Simple Practices to Calm Your Mind and Heal Your Chronic Pain (Paperback)
Dr. McGonigal's advice is inspiring, down-to-earth, and easy to put into action right away.I have been doing the breathing exercises and meditations with my wife, who began suffering from chronic headaches after a concussion this past summer. She wanted to avoid heavy pain medications, and this book was a lifesaver. It helped both with the physical pain and also the depression and anxiety that she felt, having little control over her symptoms. I was happy to be able to work through the book with her -- it helped me better understand what she going through, and gave me concrete ways to help her: by doing breathing exercises together, and reading the meditations out loud to her. It helps that the book is grounded in scientific research (psychology and physiology) as well as Dr. McGonigal's yoga practice, it makes for a well-grounded book that is both eye-opening and comforting. 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful

Science + Practical Advice = Great Resource,
By Cookiemonster - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yoga for Pain Relief: Simple Practices to Calm Your Mind and Heal Your Chronic Pain (Paperback)
I am a long time student of Dr. Kelly McGonigal. I found this book to be very helpful in explaining the science of pain, and how my own mental patterns in dealing with personal chronic pain were exacerbating or relieving my pain. The practical suggestions for poses to stretch and move while in pain have been useful for reducing the intensity of pain in my shoulder and neck. The gentle movements offered in this book were also helpful in recovering from a recent bout of the flu. I found the stories to be helpful in learning that I am not alone in dealing with pain and hearing strategies for how other people dealt with similar issues. Yoga is not a quick fix, but the ideas and suggestions in this book have made a real difference in handling day to day stress and pain.
