Yoga and Multiple Sclerosis: A Journey to Health and Healing

This comprehensive, user-friendly guide shows how to apply yogic principles to the management of multiple sclerosis. Written by a medical doctor and a yoga teacher who has MS, the book describes how yoga works; includes photographs and descriptions of each pose; explains effects, advantages, and contraindications; and contains "starter poses" for the novice or the physically challenged. The first section is a straightforward but gentle introduction to yoga. The second part is functionally oriented, presenting poses that help combat fatigue, reduce spasticity, increase range of motion and more.
