Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy, and the Art of Letting Go Paperback – Illustrated, September 21, 2016

Simple and effective explanations for movements and poses to utilize with yourself or clients who have scoliosis. The images are very helpful!

I just received this book and I am already on chapter 3 it is very easy to read and the illustrations are simple and to the point. I have a severe scoliosis and am in my 60's and i find this book to give you a treatment protocol in order to help yourself to slow the progression instead of doing what was recommended to wait and see or just watch it. To this day the doctors do not give you a exercise program that is targeted to your curve that will slow your progression or any recommendation on any books that would be beneficial to you. I find this book to give you hope and is well written so far what i have read. Once I complete the book I will give an update for final my thoughts.

I have a milder scoliosis, as do a number of my sibs, my daughter, and my mom. This book describes scoliosis and offers exercises to assist in decreasing the effect of the curve or curves. This book is great for parents and teens who are newly diagnosed. Most teens hate having scoliosis and are very demoralized. This book offers yoga poses as ways to diminish or stop the advancement of the spinal change. By being aware of the changes in the spine and what to do, the afflicted and their family have a tool to use to actively participate in the treatment. I wish this tool was available long ago when I was a teen and when my daughter was.

I believe this book is saving my life! I am 64 yrs old and was recently diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. I looked at several yoga books before settling on this one. It is short, easy to understand, well researched, and doable! I have been following this program for about a month now, and already notice a difference in my pain level. Thank you for writing this book!!!!!

Great! Great book.. great detailed information. This will be very useful in my home yoga practice to help strengthen my back as well as doing the correct poses for the type of Scoliosis I have. Thank you!

I learned so much about the mechanics of the body and scoliosis. Very well written thoughtful in her explanations. Very helpful!

I found the book very difficult to understand at times. I was a dance major in college, so I am not unfamiliar with the structure of the body. Personally, the diagrams didn't clearly depict exactly where the curve started. A curve that appeared to initially be headed to the left was in fact labeled a "right lumbar curve" - because it eventually curved back to the right? Very confusing...There has to be a simpler way to explain this rather complex issue.

Haven't had chance to read it but looking through it I see that it will be of great help
