"With over a decade of research and clinical practice specifically on yoga therapy for managing arthritis, Dr. Steffany Moonaz is THE world authority on this subject."

"This book was written by the most knowledgeable person I''ve ever met when it comes to arthritis and the practice of yogaI also recommend taking her online Yoga for Arthritis class. I''m in the middle of it right now and couldn''t be more impressed!!!"

Yoga therapy is commonly used for the management of arthritis, but often focusses exclusively on adaptation of the physical poses and on structural solutionsThis book moves beyond the traditional routines to present yoga as a lifestyle designed to improve quality of life and overall well-being for individuals living with arthritis and rheumatic conditions. By incorporating the ancient practices of yoga as both physical and mental exercises involving a model of 5-koshas or sheaths (physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom, and spiritual), the yoga therapy practice presented here will help reduce pain and shift the perspective of the individual living with arthritis.

This therapy uses a whole-person approach that employs a broad range of tools to address the biopsychosocial effects of arthritis through the application of yoga practices and philosophyUseful as a guide for people living with arthritis, this book is full of inspiration for self care along with instructions for yoga teachers and medical professionals to guide their clients using this whole-person perspective.
