Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A senior Kripalu yoga teacher's compassionate guide to relieving suffering through yoga's natural path to mental wellness. Help for dysthymia, anxiety-based depression, and bipolar disorder. Learn how specific postures, breathing practices, and meditation techniques release traumas and suffering. (6' x 9' / 285 pages. Paper)
'Weintraub has written a sensitive, intelligent, painstaking exploration of the deeper psychospiritual issues that make up the complex experience of depression. What is most impressive about this text, though, is not how much she knows but the way she conveys what she knows, the innate qualities she brings to her writing: her steadfastness in encouraging the reader, her agility at drawing on ageless yoga texts, her insights into the problems of the self and the conditions in modern society that exacerbate them.' Phil Catalfo, Yoga Journal

A well-researched, well-written book which has inspired me to commit to daily yoga. Amy Weintraub illustrates convincingly the benefits yoga can bring to a depressed person, without condemning conventional medicine. Instead she recommends a mixture of yoga, medication and talk therapy to suit each individual. This book is inspiring and gives me hope.

I expected a more pure yoga approach to this most serious subject; depression. Some depression is caused by physical problems therefore I expected more YOGA positions; healing the body thus setting the stage to clear the mind. Finding the answers to problems of the mind is difficult enough without diverting the process in non reality based solutions.

As a long-time sufferer of depression and anxiety who has spent years on medication as well as counseling, this book provides a great deal of information on the healing nature of yoga and meditation. Ms. Weintraub certainly seems to understand the dark days firsthand and she offers positive advice on how a yoga practice can help quiet the mind as well as energize the body.
I did buy the book expecting it to have a full yoga program in it. But that is not the purpose of the book. It does have many yoga practices and they have been helpful but her intent is to explain the connection between our bodies and emotions and how yoga can help. She recommends taking a yoga class or using a book to truly learn yoga properly. She provides a fantastic list of resources at the end of the book for yoga websites, retreats, books, and cds.
I highly recommend this book and I am enjoying my new yoga adventure.
Rated by buyers -
Interesting read in its endeavor to tie contemporarily known facts about the etiology and treatment of depression to this time-honored and ancient practice. A worthwhile read for those who either want to try yoga under the tutelage of a certified teacher and as part of professionally supervised treatment as a means of improving and sustaining mood or adding it to more traditional treatment. Clearly, we have much more to learn about how yoga effects mood and the relationship of movement, breath, spirituality and self-discovery to depression.
