Valuable Resource for "The Beginner - to The Adept)
I have been practicing and teaching Yoga for 35 years, for the past 25 years I have practiced Ashtanga, unfortunately with age I am going to have to give up Ashtanga. I would recommend this book to teachers and beginners. There are valuable teaching techniques for the teacher and for anyone "beginning their Yoga Path." It will provide the novice with the information to seek a qualified teacher. Twenty four basic asanas are included in the book, but with the adaptations of the poses, the same principals apply. I am looking forward to becomming a Certified Yoga Therapy Teacher in the near future, after reading this book, this is where my path is taking me. ERYT

If you buy only one book, this should be it
I am an RN, Family Nurse Practitioner, wholistic health practitioner, massage therapist and yoga teacher. This is the best book I've seen on this topic. Mukunda Stiles begins with the history and philosophical basis for yoga therapy, then gives methods for assessment and support of physical structures to promote healing. I would love to study with the author, but having the book is the next best thing.

structural yoga therapy
as a yoga instructor i am finding this book very helpful and interesting to read

Classical yoga
This is one of my favorite yoga books. Very informative book that aids understanding the anatomy in poses. I like that Mukunda provides charts to help in identifying which muscles might be weak or tight. For the poses, he identifies which muscles are being strengthened, which are lengthened, and which one are being targeted as a focus point.

Also provides sequences. Very helpful.

Finally something that helps!
Structural Yoga Therapy: Adapting to the Individual
I was referred to Makunda Stiles' Structural Yoga Therapy by Joan Borysenko, PhD. (Minding the Body, Mending the Mind) for severe neck pain that tradidtional medicine has been unable to address except through more surgeries and nerve blocks and drugs. I have just started the individual asanas that are recommended so I will have to add to this review when I have more information. I am very hopeful.

The author is very knowlegeable about anatomy and careful not to stress other areas of the body while addressing the problem area. His writing is clear and easy to follow. Hopefully, I will be able to add to this review after practicing his asanas and achieving some level of pain relief.
