The massive growth in the popularity of yoga as a form of exercise
and as a method of maintaining whole-body wellness has led to
thousands of published research studies confirming what yoga
practitioners already know: Yoga relieves stress, improves mental
and emotional health, enhances sleep, relieves low back pain and
neck pain, promotes weight loss, and even enables smoking
cessation. Further study has proven that yoga helps individuals
with disabilities improve their functional activities of daily
living, recover from injuries, gain mobility, experience less pain,
and manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. Adaptive Yoga takes
these studies out of the research labs and onto the yoga mat to
empower individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions
to create an effective and safe yoga practice. If you work with
these special populations as a yoga teacher or rehabilitative
therapist, you will find guidance and recommended poses for some of
the most common conditions and disabilities, including these: Low
back pain Hip, knee, and rheumatoid arthritis Spinal cord injury
Stroke Cerebral palsy Lower limb amputation Parkinson's disease
Multiple sclerosis Each pose is presented in detail so you fully
understand how it helps the student improve functionality. The text
instructs the reader on how to enter, hold, and exit the pose
safely, as well as why the pose is beneficial for that condition.
When appropriate, contraindications are presented so the yoga
practice can be tailored to address any additional conditions or
limitations. Challenge variations and restorative modifications for
many poses make further individualization possible. In Adaptive
Yoga, authors Ingrid Yang, MD, and Kyle Fahey, DPT, have combined
their extensive backgrounds in yoga, medicine, and physical therapy
with their unique insights and passion for movement and
rehabilitation to present an essential guide for helping those with
chronic conditions experience the countless physical and mental
benefits of yoga practice. CE exam available! For certified
professionals, a companion continuing education exam can be
completed after reading this book. The Adaptive Yoga Online CE Exam
may be purchased separately or as part of the Adaptive Yoga With CE
Exam package that includes both the book and the exam.
