  • Yoga Remedies
    yoga remedies FOR EVERYDAY AILMENTS HEADA CHES | EYESTRAIN | COLDS & FLU WRIST STRAIN | INSOMNIA | BACK PAIN STRESS | DEPRESSION FROM THE EDITORS OF YRMB Welcome to Yoga Journal’s “Yoga Remedies.” In this booklet, you’ll learn how to do yoga postures for eight common health problems. Yoga, which means “union,” helps join body and mind in a way that reconnects us with our needs and fosters total well- ness. In addition, numerous studies have shown that yoga measurably affects the nervous, musculoskeletal, circulatory, and endocrine systems of the body. Using specific postures, we can take charge of our well- being, tapping into our body’s wisdom to heal what ails us. Yoga also builds strength, flexibility, and bal- anceW without the risk of injury common to high- impact sports and fitness activities. Yoga’s influence on our health is garnering increased recognition in mainstream medicine circles. Studies by Herbert Benson, M.D., at Harvard Medical School, and Jon Kabat-Zinn, M.D., at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, have conclusively shown that yoga and meditation boost immunity and reduce stress, an underlying factor in many chronic illnesses, including heart disease and cancer. Prestigious hospitals, such as Memorial Sloan- Kettering and Columbia Presbyterian in New York City, and HMOs, such as Kaiser Permanente, now offer yoga classes to their patients—powerful proof that yoga works. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking for ways to expand your practice, we hope that these tips give you the tools you need to stay well. Enjoy them in good health. Namaste!

    Praise for Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy “I love Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy. At last there is a book that is not just on asana but coupled with that, the real beauty of asana and philosophy.” — Frances Liotta, founder of Yogamat “Gregor Maehle’s Ashtanga Yoga: Practice and Philosophy weaves philosophy and integrated knowledge of anatomy into our yoga practice to keep us centered in the heart of a profound tradition. He also gives us a brilliant translation and com- mentary on the Yoga Sutra, revealing a deep philosophical and historical context in which to ground and stimulate our entire lives.” — Richard Freeman, founder of the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, and author of The Yoga Matrix CD “A much-needed new tool for practicing the method with greater safety in the physical form and with much needed depth in the inner form of the practice. I especially appreciate the comprehensive approach, which includes philosophical perspectives, anatomy, vedic lore, a thorough description of the physical method itself as well as a complete copy of Patanjala Yoga Darshana. A valuable contribution to the evolving understanding of this profound system and method of yoga.” — Chuck Miller, Ashtanga yoga teacher, senior student of Sri K.
