The section 'Yoga for a Bad Day' has been particularly helpful for me, as repeated attacks of cystitis leave me too exhausted for other types of exercise.' R. L., Student'As one of the first women board certified in Urology, I have, for some time observed that many chronic problems attributed to the bladder (or other pelvic organs) are actually caused or exacerbated by muscle contraction in response to pain. This condition lies beneath the radar of standard medical explanation. Here, at last, is book identifying this problem and offering practical ways for people to help themselves.' Dr. Muriel R. Friedman, MD'This book is highly recommended to people working on healing themselves. It should be required reading for students and teachers of yoga therapy.' Dr. Alakananda Devi, M.B., B.S. (London), Alandi School of Ayurveda.'An excellent blend of eastern yoga and Western Medicine to the benefit of both.' Shar Lee, Senior Yoga Teacher.
