Human Kinetics Publishers Adaptive Yoga
Book SynopsisThis resource will help yoga teachers, physical therapists, and individuals with disabilities create safe and effective yoga practices that accommodate conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, limb amputation, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.Trade Review"Although the benefits of adaptive yoga for people with unique physical abilities are being increasingly recognized, there are no published guidelines for safe implementation. Dr. Yang's and Dr. Fahey's expertise in Adaptive Yoga fills a much-needed void. This will be a go-to guide—not only for people with disabilities but also for yoga instructors and for health care professionals hoping to integrate holistic interventions with their patients.”—Kelly Krese, DPT, NCS, Neurologic Physical Therapist at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab“In this important work, Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey invite you to come back to the essence of yoga, illustrating in a clear and comprehensive way how the postures can (and should) be adapted to each person according to their specific needs. This guide is an essential contribution to the field of yoga therapy, outlining safe and effective practices to promote healing and optimal well-being.”—Rachel Krentzman PT, C-IAYT, Physical Therapist, Yoga Therapist, and Author of Yoga for a Happy Back and Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy, and the Art of Letting Go“As a physical therapist and yoga and movement educator, I get goose bumps thinking about the power of this book's message and the overall work of Dr. Ingrid Yang. Ingrid is defying convention in her field to amplify and lead with a simple, noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical approach that could enhance the quality of life for those experiencing challenging and sometimes disabling conditions. This is a well-referenced guide to understanding how and why to apply yoga asana under a wide range of circumstances.”—Ariele Foster, DPT, PT, E-RYT 500, Founder of YogaAnatomyAcademy.com“This detailed yet accessibly written book is a gift for curious students of yoga, a resource for yoga teachers, and a primer for rehabilitation professionals seeking to understand the use of yoga asana as a targeted means of increasing strength and flexibility. It is also, crucially, a welcome portal to further exploration: As Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey remind readers, “The goal of adaptive yoga is not only to modify yoga poses but to use yoga as a tool to improve mobility, function, and quality of life.”—Laurie Hyland Robertson, Editor in Chief of Yoga Therapy Today"This book is an amazing effort and accomplishment to help fill a void our health care system is not always able to fill."—Bijal Patel, MD, Nephrologist, Patient Advocate, and Physician Advocate"Adaptive Yoga is a well-thought-out introduction to yoga posture variations to help both yoga professionals and health care providers serve wider audiences. The book is an important bridge that will allow many more individuals to safely access the important health benefits of yoga asana practice."—Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD, C-IAYT, National Yoga Safety Expert, Past President of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and Board Member of Accessible Yoga Table of ContentsPart I.

Hay House Inc Charge and the Energy Body
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Anodea Judith’s Charge and the Energy Body takes you on a beautiful journey through the subtle energies that animate your body. Based on a lifetime of curiosity and creative exploration, it will help you understand your own workings, the forces that propel those you love, and how to stabilize and harmonize the energies within you and beyond you. I recommend it highly.” —Donna Eden and David Feinstein, Ph.D., co-authors of Energy Medicine and The Energies of Love “In this landmark book, Anodea Judith further addresses the role of the chakras in personality and our intimate relationships. She advances her original understanding of the energy systems of life and shows us just how we can ride the wave of charge and excitement and embody that aliveness. This journey opens the door to the inner experience of the authentic self, of our relationship to ourselves and to others. Anodea also pays particular attention to the effect that trauma has upon our vital energy centers. She then provides maps to help us move back into life, and to know and achieve what we truly want in life.” —Peter A. Levine, author of Waking the Tiger; Healing Trauma; and In an Unspoken Voice “Everything is possible. And the key is in your charge and the energy body. When your charge blends with its source, the universal charge, you have arrived home. That power is within your grasp. In her book Charge and the Energy Body, Anodea gives us a complete, original, and fresh insight into the possibility of living an orgasmic, ecstatic, and joyful life-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Read this book, and you'll have the key to Heaven!” —Margot Anand, author of Love, Sex, and Awakening “Anodea takes you step by step through an understanding of your life force, including how to enhance it, balance it, and use it for healing. With her foundational practices, we can become better human beings and agents of positive change.” —Stephen Dinan, CEO of The Shift Network, author of Sacred America, Sacred World “Superb addition to the field of energy psychology with deep insights, juicy awarenesses, and creative practices. Well written and energizing to read, with a nice balance of personal stories, case examples, and theories.” —Michael Mayer, Ph.D., author of Energy Psychology “Anodea Judith’s Charge and the Energy Body will become one of the 'must-have' books for body-oriented and energy-oriented health-care professionals. Her focus on 'charge' as an energetic phenomenon provides a nonjudgmental language and point of view that can be used easily by therapists and accepted by clients. She provides a wealth of information about different patterns of charge with different types of problems, as well as how to shift those patterns. The book provides plenty of exercises that can help therapists and their clients experience and embody different ways of being. I highly recommend this book."” —Robert Schwarz, Psy.D., DCEP, Executive Director of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology "By focusing on charge, on the flow of life energy through the body, Anodea Judith has given us a new way of looking at human behavior and emotion during trauma, healing, and self-regulation. If you want a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, this book is for you." —Steven Kessler, psychotherapist and author of The 5 Personality Patterns "Anodea Judith's book Charge and the Energy Body is a fascinating and comprehensive view on life force. A great read for anyone interested in understanding how life force affects our physical, mental, and spiritual health. I especially love all the practical techniques to help us stay charged and vital on all these levels." —Lisa Van Ostrand, Dean of Advanced Studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing
