Not what I expected
The book is very thin with much less detail than I expected. Also the ads for it implied there was an enclosed DVD but there was not one with the book. Very disappointed and not worth the money

Very Good
Having been recently diagnosed with moderate scoliosis (age 46) and exploring the few options, I ordered this book. Based on the info and testimonies I could find, yoga seems to be a reasonable step - instead of the standard issue back exercises and then wait and see if problem progresses to brace then surgery approach. The book is very well written - especially the opening pages which has a clear summary of scoliosis - the 4 most common types of curvatures - and the explanation of structural (usually unequal growth) and functional scoliosis (caused by environment) - and how to determine the difference (which type you have). I have been able to do some of the exercises for the last few weeks which seem to be helping - back "seems" straighter, stronger, and definitely more flexible (even visually a bit - waistline is a little less uneven..). Continueous pain in lower back and hips has very much decreased (gone much of the time). However, I do not understand the write up on how to do many of the exercises (and I am concerned about doing them incorrectly) so I have just ordered the DVD. I would recommend purchasing this book - it is written by someone with severe scoliosis (who is extremely active and looks great even though) and contains a great deal of beneficial information. Here is a link to the author's site for more info --> [...]

Excelent book!
This is a great book, you can feel the work in your spine right away. Simple to follow with very clear instructions.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful book. Although it is published directly by the author, the details and content of this book are priceless. I am finally living without pain.
