Yoga for back pain: A practical guide to healing

By Emil J. Lewis

Book Overview

As suggested by the subtitle, Yoga for back pain is a practical book designed and written for those who want to solve their back problems effectively. In this book you will not find endless chapters in which we talk about the history of yoga from a philosophical point of view, nor will we make distinctions between the different types of yoga or talk extensively about the well-known benefits of this discipline (although for each exercise we will indicate the specific benefits for the back, the general benefits for the body and the mind, as well as any contraindications). Instead, the book describes 44 exercises (asanas, mudras, pranayamas and relaxation exercises) whose effectiveness to alleviate or eliminate upper, middle or low back pain (lumbar or dorsal), cervical pain or column malformations, has been proven. Each exercise is explained in detail and accompanied by illustrations that will help to understand how to correctly perform each movement and how to breathe properly during the practice. All these techniques have been combined together in specific sets of exercises for each different type of back pain, so that you will get the maximum benefit from them. The series of exercises presented in "Yoga for back pain: a practical guide to healing," have been designed to relief back pain, lumbar or neck pain, lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis) or in the thoracic or sacral region (kyphosis), as well as being beneficial for osteoarthritis and arthritis. The yoga poses, the breathing and relaxation exercises and the mudras presented in this book have the double virtue of being very beneficial for back pain and, at the same time, can be performed by anyone, both beginners and those who practice yoga for a long time. Learn how to reconnect with your body and mind, and take this first step towards healing and regain that lost quality of life. Healing from back pain is not only possible, but it can also be a wonderful journey to a renewed awareness of yourself. 44 illustrated techniques to restore back wellness Asanas (yoga poses) Pranayamas (breathing exercises) Relaxation exercises Body Mudras 8 different sets of yoga exercises for every type of backache (upper, middle and lower back pain) Low back pain (lumbar) Cervical pain Lateral curvature of the column (scoliosis) Excessive outward curvature of the spine (kyphosis)
