While many people practice yoga simply because it helps them feel
good, the physiological basis for yoga's effects on the body and
mind is often unknown or misunderstood. Understanding these
physiological concepts can help to deepen your yoga practice. The
Physiology of Yoga separates speculation from fact by examining how
the body responds and adapts to yoga within many systems of the
body: musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular,
lymphatic, immune, endocrine, reproductive, and digestive.
Straightforward explanations guide you in sorting through
conflicting information about what yoga really can help you achieve
and in evaluating whether certain yoga methods provide benefits to
any or all of those systems. You can experiment with concepts
through Try It Yourself sidebars, which focus on mindful movement,
meditation, and breathing. The 14 Myth or Fact sidebars explore
popular claims about yoga, such as whether a shoulder stand can
stimulate the thyroid or if twists can detoxify the liver. You'll
get the most current research to determine the validity of various
claims so you can avoid practices that could be harmful or
counterproductive and can decide for yourself what works for your
practice. Finally, experience firsthand how yoga affects your
physiology by exploring specific yoga poses and four sequences.
Each sequence explains which of the physiological principles from
the earlier chapters may be most prevalent in that sequence. With
The Physiology of Yoga, you or your students can navigate all the
conflicting views and opinions about the impact of yoga and learn
to practice yoga while fully enjoying the benefits of mindful
movement. CE exam available! For certified professionals, a
companion continuing education exam can be completed after reading
this book. The Physiology of Yoga Online CE Exam may be purchased
separately or as part of The Physiology of Yoga With CE Exam
package that includes both the book and the exam.
