"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, midlife, and wisdom years.
Each section contains chapters offering specific information about
a particular health issue from author Linda Sparrowe, as well as
sequences of yoga poses from Patricia Walden that address the
problem. For example, the back care chapter includes information
about common back problems and their causes (scoliosis, arthritis,
lordosis, sciatica, kyphosis, among others) with an emphasis on:
emotional and psychological roots of some back problems;
physiological information about the spine and back muscles; general
information about how yoga addresses different areas of the back;
and finally, Patricia Walden's sequences of poses that target
different back problems with the goal of not only relieving back
pain butof strengthening, and healing old injuries and
misalignments.
Sections of the book include:
-Teens and Early 20s: Eating disorders, menstrual health, immune
support
-20s and 30s: Back care, pregnancy, headaches
-Midlife: Depression, menopause, digestion
-Wisdom Years: Osteoporosis, postmenopause, the heart
The final section of the book includes listings of yoga centers,
instructional videos, yoga equipment, and where to go for more
information about yoga.
