A no frills, value black and white edition of "Does Yoga Work? Answers from Science". Includes a "Points to Ponder" section to aid with preparing for certification as a "Science Smart Yogi" TM. "This book is a must-read for all who teach and practice yoga, and for those responsible for health policy. Terrific!" Tiffany Cruikshank , Founder of Yoga Medicine(R) "Many of us in the yoga community have long awaited a text that can help us verify the bountiful benefits of regular yoga practice yet few of us have the professional training to access, read and thoroughly assess the plethora of published yoga studies. Dr. Mary Flaherty has done us a great service in making research, statistics and understanding of medical studies about the efficacy of yoga practice for a broad range of medical conditions, simple, accessible and engaging. This book is not only for yoga teachers and yoga therapists, it is for anyone who practices yoga or is considering practicing yoga as an adjunct or potential antidote for a health condition." Donna Farhi , author of "The Breathing Book" and "Yoga, Mind, Body and Spirit" "After 40 years of practising and studying yoga full-time I thought there wasn't much left to learn. I was wrong- Indispensable! A must-read" Gregor Maehle , author of " Ashtanga Yoga: Philosophy & Practice ", mystic and teacher "I don't know of any book that provides such informative examples and concise summaries of a vast amount of research, while clearly explaining the processes of science, and including important messages from researchers and clinicians". Neil Pearson , Canadian leader in pain management, author and yoga therapist. Does Yoga Work? This illustrated, accessible summary presents up-to-date scientific evidence on the benefits and risks of yoga practice. Answers to important questions are presented in a conversational but objective manner. Does yoga work for chronic pain? for depression? for helping to relieve PMS and menopausal symptoms? To invert or not during menstruation? Does yoga really help with diseases like cancer or cardiac disease? What postures are safe during pregnancy? Does yoga help us breathe better? A treasure trove of information, quotes and stories makes this essential reading for yoga teachers, therapists, students and practitioners, as well as for researchers, health care providers and policy makers with an interest in yoga. Important takeaways are presented in an easy-to-read, digestible format. Key points, stories from practitioners, evidence-based summary points, fun illustrations and the oodles of quotations make it accessible. There is also an opportunity to meet some of the "Faces Behind the Figures" - short biographies of some of the academics who have dedicated their lives to the scientific study of yoga. Each chapter ends with "Tips for Teachers & Therapists" and "Tips for Students" for particular issues (e.g. diabetes, children, PTSD, etc.) gleaned from the author's careful reading of the evidence available, which comprise an invaluable resource for informed decision making, both in the teaching and practice of yoga. This user-friendly and long overdue addition to the scientific literature on yoga for a general audience is a must for anyone who wants to know "Does Yoga Work?" .
