The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health: A Lifelong Guide to Wellness
Product Description
The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health is the first comprehensive book about women’s health issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors offer a complete yoga program for general health as well as pose sequences that address specific health problems—all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example, in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear instructions that tell how to get into each pose and describe its benefits: chapter one is the Essential Sequence for all women, and includes modifications for people who cannot or should not do all the poses; chapter two is the Restorative Sequence for stress relief and relaxation; chapter three contains advanced poses that energize and tone. The second part is presented in four sections that broadly represent the stages of a woman’s life: teen years and early twenties, later twenties and thirties, … More >>

Comprehensive, well presented and informative book. I would have like to have seen more on pregnancy though.
This focuses on the Iyengar technique and shows how to use the props they are so fond of in that tradition. A wealth of valuable health information for women. I feel that one would need a live class in order to truly be sure they were doing things right (ie. in the Iyengar tradition- wink wink).
A good addition to your yoga library.
A great read for the beginner and advanced women practitioner. Great for teachers needing more substance in identifying what a women practitioner wants to hear. The information is detailed and very easy to understand.
An excellent, beautiful, easy to follow book, well written and its more than just yoga. Compassionate advice on being a woman and handling our woes with grace…great sequences by Patricia Waldren, and clear large pictures of active and restorative asanas…….really a lovely first class book…a book written by women for women…a book embracing sisterhood…..
I just finished reading the entire book and it is a wonderful book packed with great information..
I have long been a fan of Patricia Walden who created the yoga sequences for this book.
I had not read anything by Linda Sparrowe before but I really enjoyed her style of writing.
The main thing I was looking for in this book was how to deal with pelvic floor disorders. And this book addresses them. This book teaches you how to tone your pelvic floor helping with such things as prolapses and also urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is something that many women deal with every day but are ashamed to admit to it. There is hope for women with urinary incontinence..whether
through yoga or westernized medical treatments.
