$35

Volume 2 provides specific and practical guidance for   a manageable program of yoga stretches and remedial exercises for reducing pain syndromes and correcting postural and joint imbalance in specific areas of the body.

It is entirely possible to enjoy and benefit from Volume 2 without having read Volume 1 of The Therapeutic Wisdom of Yoga. Volume 2 is intentionally designed to be of immediate practical use to practitioners for whom the anatomical and technical information in Volume 1 is a bit 'too much.'

Volume 2 'zooms in' to describe the roots of specific problems with the feet, knees, hips, low back, neck and shoulders and so on, and how to address them in our practice — and through remedial exercises that are accessible even to those who are limited in the possibilities for movement.

The book does assume some familiarity with basic yoga postures and how to do them: and it provides insightful guidance meant to help you realize their full benefit.

The last chapter provides guidance specific to working with scoliosis.

The books are truebound, with a water-resistent velvet lamination, 8 1/2 by 11 inches.
