End chronic pain-for good-with this practical guide from the PBS
personality behind Classical Stretch and author of the New York
Times bestseller Aging Backwards. Chronic pain is the most common
cause of long-term disability in the United States. Twenty percent
of American adults accept back spasms, throbbing joints, arthritis
aches, and other physical pain as an inevitable consequence of
aging, illness, or injury. But the human body is not meant to
endure chronic pain. Miranda Esmonde-White has spent decades
helping professional athletes, ballet dancers, and Olympians
overcome potentially career-ending injuries and guiding MS patients
and cancer survivors toward pain-free mobility. Now, in Forever
Painless, she shows everyone how to heal their aching bodies and
live pain free. The root of nearly all pain is movement-or lack
thereof. We need to move our bodies to refresh, nourish, and
revitalize our cells. Without physical activity, our cells become
stagnant and decay, accelerating the aging process and causing
pain. People who suffer chronic pain often become sedentary, afraid
that movement and activity will make things worse, when just the
opposite is true: movement is essential to healing. In Forever
Painless, Miranda provides detailed instructions for gentle
exercise designed to ease discomfort in the feet and ankles, knees,
hips, back, and neck-allowing anyone to live happier, healthier,
and pain-free no matter their age.

energies that nurture our physical, emotional, and mental bodies.

vehicles are at their most favorable levels of functional
efficiency. This helpful book explains how to experience inner
balance and authentic spiritual growth, based on ancient practices
and principles of ayurdeva.

From acclaimed yoga teacher Guru Jagat comes a wildly cool,
practical, and beautifully illustrated guide to applying the simple
and super-effective technology of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to
everyday life, upgrading your "operating system" inside and out.
With Invincible Living, Guru Jagat shares a radical way of
understanding yoga-not just as something to do in practice, but as
a broader principle for living. Candid, encouraging, and
irreverent, Guru Jagat shows how Kundalini Yoga-which forgoes
complex poses for energy-boosting, breath-driven exercises, quick
meditations, and simple poses most of which you can do at your
desk-can reset your life and well-being, regardless of your age or
background. Designed explicitly for everyday people, not
ashram-going or gym-bodied yogis, fast, effective Kundalini
techniques can be done anywhere, from the car to the conference
room. There's no need to have a bendy back or toned arms. You don't
even need a mat: just a quiet space to clear your head, and as
little as a minute out of your day. From beauty and self-care to
work and relationships, Invincible Living tackles both the
mind-from mood elevation and stress reduction to renewed mental
clarity-and the body-from anti-aging, and increased metabolism to
amped up energy. Packed with tips, exercises, and step-by-step
instructions and fully photographed and illustrated in Guru Jagat's
fresh, handmade-meets-hipster style, Invincible Living is fresh
take on ancient wisdom: a must-have guide for anyone who wants
simple, effective, tools for a supercharged life as taught by a
uniquely compelling teacher who upends all preconceptions about
yoga. Invincible Living includes 100 color photographs and
illustrations.
