Yoga for Depression

[bcr]

Has anyone read/seen 'Yoga for Depression' by Amy Weintraub?

Marian Keyes mentioned in her blog last month but it only has one review on Amazon so I was wondering if anyone here had seen it and knew if it was worth buying?

Thanks!

I've been working my way through this book for a while. I've always liked yoga and find it really useful for anx and depression. I initially did a cursory read of the book and incorporated the pictured poses into my yoga routine. It really is an excellent therapy for anx and depression, but it does require regular practice. Her section on different breathing exercises is really good, as i find standard abdominal breathing difficult.

I would recommend it, but she does stress working with a trained yoga instructor, the book is not a training manual in itself. But it allows for the adaption of a yoga practice to address to problem of anx etc.

Hope this helps
