This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Eastern practice of yoga has registered an exponential growth in the Western world. Most practitioners find that yoga not only makes them feel physically and psychologically better but also improves their personal, professional, and social life. In the United States of America alone, it is estimated that over 20 million adults practiced yoga in 2016. In response to its universal acceptance, ever-increasing popularity, and growing scientific validation of its numerous health benefits, the United Nations has officially dedicated June 21st of every year as the International Yoga Day.Most yoga practiced in the West combines four elements - physical postures, breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation. Healthy yogic lifestyles and spiritual yogic philosophy are also being increasingly taught. Emerging scientific data strongly indicates that healthier lifestyles, (as often recommended by yoga teachers) have the potential to increase the human life span by as much as 12 years.Many scientific trials, published in professional journals, have objectively documented the therapeutic effects of yoga in several diseases. The non-professional literature promotes a plethora of health benefits attributed to yoga, that on the surface, often appear to be scientifically 'unsubstantiated'.The author of this book has professionally researched these claims. This book documents the scientific data (with over 3000 citations) behind most of these claims

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Yoga draws on a hidden wealth of science, history, and surprising facts to cut through the fog that surrounds contemporary yoga and to show - for the first time - what is uplifting and beneficial and what is delusional, flaky, and dangerous. At heart, it illuminates the risks and rewards. The book takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of undiscovered yoga that goes from old libraries in Calcutta to the world capitals of medical research, from little-known archives to spotless laboratories, from sweaty yoga classes with master teachers to the cosy offices of yoga healers. In the process, it shatters myths, lays out unexpected benefits, and offers a compelling vision of how to improve the discipline.

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?".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga therapy is commonly used for the management of arthritis, but often focusses exclusively on adaptation of the physical poses and on structural solutions. This book moves beyond the traditional routines to present yoga as a lifestyle designed to improve quality of life and overall well-being for individuals living with arthritis and rheumatic conditions. By incorporating the ancient practices of yoga as both physical and mental exercises involving a model of 5-koshas or sheaths (physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom, and spiritual), the yoga therapy practice presented here will help reduce pain and shift the perspective of the individual living with arthritis. This therapy uses a whole-person approach that employs a broad range of tools to address the biopsychosocial effects of arthritis through the application of yoga practices and philosophy. Useful as a guide for people living with arthritis, this book is full of inspiration for self care along with instructions for yoga teachers and medical professionals to guide their clients using this whole-person perspective.
