Restore Pelvic Power with Yoga Therapy

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

 

This article is from my series on Yoga therapeutics for a local monthly paper, AZ Health & Wellness

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the link to this article, "Restore Pelvic Power with Yoga Therapy?".

 











 

As a member of the International Pelvic Pain Society and a clinician that supports men and women with challenges in this region, I hope this article broadens the lens of focus to include the many other factors that influence disorders and how Yoga therapy can restore "order" to the disorder! 

What is your experience as either a provider or patient with Yoga therapy?

What is Yoga Therapy?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

I will be writing a series on Yoga therapeutics for a local monthly paper, AZ Health & Wellness

Here is the link to the first article, "What is Yoga Therapy?".

 

 

Having been on the committee at www.iayt.org that drafted the first operational definition for the assoication, I can now appreciate the time and care we took to formalize a rich and meaningful definition. The craft involved in taking such a deep practice such as Yoga therapy and bringing it down to a operational definition was hard work. By no means exclusive or exhaustive, I'd love to hear your response or questions to this article written 4 years later after we first published an answer to "What is Yoga Therapy?".

Neck Pain Relief with a hint of DSR Method

Carol Krucoff's newly released book "Healing Yoga for Neck and Shoulder Pain" is now available. Carol is a colleague of mine from the International Yoga Therapy Association. In addition to being an award-winning journalist, Carol is a Yoga therapist at the Duke Integrative Medicine Center. 

She was kind enough to request my professional review as she wrote the book. Such a request demonstrates her conscientious quest for the best resources she can offer her readers…and hence her awards. Her professionalism and prior research into the topic made "lite" work for me (hence the "hint of DSR Method"…she understands and addresses the multiple systems perspective that affects neck and shoulder comfort). The clarity of her writing coupled with her gift of putting things simply was a pleasure to experience.

She was also very generous in her acknowledgement of my participation in her Acknowledgment section. Thank you Carol!

Understanding as we do that all reviews are unbiased and totally objective, you can read my review of her book at Amazon here. You can purchase the book here.

I recommend this resource to both my clients and my professional colleagues as I believe both will gain new insights and approaches for healthy upper quarter posture.

I look forward to Carol's next book as I'm sure by now she's bored and pining away in NC with nothing else to do. Thanks again Carol and good luck with the next phase of this publishing process!
