Yoga and Optimum Health After 40

About the Book

Yoga and Optimum Health After 40 defines yoga as the uniting or yoking of mind, body and spirit through physical exercise, combined with meditation and positive thinking. This union is based on the connection between breath, mind and body, a natural system that promotes optimum health. The author easily draws the reader with humor, insight and vision into how yoga brings lasting benefits to the inner self and encourages the reader to learn yoga for harmony and life. Her depth in research and reading plus her own personal experience help the reader to understand, prevent or cope with conditions such as osteoporosis, stress, heart disease, overweight, depression and fibromyalgia. As Dr. Walter Bortz comments, “Yoga is good for your health…and with this artful book she shows you how to do it.” Yoga and Optimum Health After 40 teaches that yoga works: that by learning yoga through this book and in a yoga class the goals of wellness and peace can become a reality.
