This book seems to just take advantage of the yoga trend to hit a problem that affects many people in hopes of selling a lot of copies. It attempts to treat back and neck pain through yoga which seems like a good idea until you realize one thing. Both yoga and back pain have been around for hundreds of years so if yoga was really the answer to curing mankind’s back pain, back pain should be long gone by now–which it isn’t.

very basic introduction to yoga and it’s benifits it offers to some people. I tried a class with my girl friends and perk my interest but i was unbale to get into these positions the author suggested without some discomfort may work for others.

The best part of this book is the section on evaluating your own back problems. I learned quite a bit about my own back pain, posture, etc. . I did have a bit of a problem with the section on scoliosis where you have to have a partner help you – if you don’t have a partner, you’re apparently out of luck. I was also a bit disappointed with the fact that this book assumes no prior experience with yoga. I have practiced yoga at the intermediate level for about 2 years, and was hoping to find a resource that would advise me on what poses would be specifically helpful for my back problems, and perhaps which poses to avoid. For someone at my level, this book is a bit *too* gentle.

Back pain has many causes. Oneway is to observe your own posture. If you correct your own daily life posture, it should be ease. This book advises a gentle way for yoga (unlike Acrobat originalIyengar yoga). Her way is much gentler and it works !!!If you never do yoga before, and have a back pain, give it a try. Don’t be confused by innocent comment by some other reviewers who say bad about this book. Finally, I look forward to see her new updated book. now it is the year 2002!!!

I am a big fan of yoga , but this book had very little to offer in new subject matter for those who have taken any type of yoga classes- knos that the instructors always remind us not to do certain positions that may and most likly cause further pain to our necks or backs. I think if you are a beginer then this is a good start but better to try out a class where a teacher can tell you what you are doing wrong.
