Yoga for Depression: A Compassionate Guide to Relieve Suffering Through Yoga
Item 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"Heal yourself with Yoga for Depression . I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it." Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., Author of Meditation as Medicine

Yoga for Depression
2009-05-22
Reviewer: Kim Allen
This book is a fantastic contribution to the wholistic healing movement. It is well researched and well-written. Amy Weintraub explains the condition of depression from an Eastern standpoint very well. Then she gives solutions to help relieve depression and explains them with ease. Her solution is obviously yoga. A little bit of daily discipline is all that is required. I am looking forward to to a better and healthier way of thinking. Thank you Amy.

Reviewer: Alacia L. Loving
I didn't think that the things this book teaches you could actually work. Well they do! With the help of this book I can catch myself and prevent a panic attack from happening and its so easy. I highly recommend this book. The author makes you feel so comfortable with yourself and helps you really connect on a universal level to find peace within yourself!
This book is a delight

Reviewer: Jack J. Challem
This book is a delight to read...and I suspect it will be for you even if you have never considered yoga as a way to improve your mood. I am the author of The Food-Mood Solution, but I recognize that there are many different drug-free paths to improving our brain chemistry and achieving more balance in life. The key is finding the path that works best for you. Although the book's emphasis is obviously on using yoga to reverse depression, almost every page contains thoughtful pearls of wisdom about navigating life's experiences. Amy has done a wonderful job of translating her experiences in life to benefit others.

Yoga for Depression review
2007-03-16
Reviewer: Ms. L. E. Matthews
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.
