Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy, and the Art of Letting Go Paperback – Illustrated, 21 Sept. 2016

I am a British Wheel Yoga teacher, just starting out having qualified recently. Rachel's book is clear, informative and well written.I have students with scoliosis and this book helps me to understand the anatomy and something of the psychology of living with scoliosis. Pain and tension both muscular and psychological can be a big part of the condition. With understanding and careful, appropriate practice both these can be addressed with yoga.The illustrations back up the easy to follow instructions for posture practice. Rachel encourages breathing and meditation also. In this way the yoga practice is holistic and addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of scoliosis.I recommend this book and am finding it easy to read and a great addition to my yoga library. Thank you, Rachel.

This is an excellent book for those who suffer "Scoliosis" (and those who do not,but are interested in yoga)Rachel explains very well, her understanding of this condition, and offers many solutions.There are many aspects to Yoga, and not many Authors mention this, Rachel does, very well.Chapters on "Asanas" and how to properly perform them, also "the very important place of the "Mind".The Chapter on "Traction" is very well explained, the how and why.

Of all the books I have bought on yoga/pilates for scoliosis, and I have bought most of them, this is by far the most useful. Short and to the point, easy to follow, and a really logical approach. No fancy equipment needed. I am so glad this has been published.

Thought this book might help me handle and cope with the pain and discomfort associated with scoliosis. It does, the exercises and stretchers help me manage the day ahead, and I can feel my spine stretching. I've found the book extremely helpful and life changing for me. My physiotherapist thought it great idea to help me too.

Great book - lots of helpful suggestions and explanations about how to help people with scoliosis

alright

Very disappointed. Not much information, especially regarding Yoga. Most of the book contains photos, the last 18 pages is a summary of more photos. Thought it was just a con. She also refers you to her other books. A waste of money. There are other books, more informative and better laid out.

Excellent and easy to read introduction. Up to date research included.
