A delightful book that instead of just giving a prescription, gives the background information needed for deeper understanding. Not only the how, but background into the area that this pose "treats", but each chapter starts with an explanation about the area of the body being "treated." Variations are shown for those unable to attain the full pose.

Of particular interest are comments on conventional scoliosis treatments, and the success that they have had treating scoliosis by strengthening the convex side.

Highly recommended, even if Arthritis is a foreign word to you.

I have been practicing beginner-level yoga for eight years, am familiar with most of the poses, and doing them as the "prevention variation." Since I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis I want to be more careful about possible fractures. This book shows modifications for each pose. It also has one of the better discussions that I've seen for the lay person about bone formation, health, and deterioration. The section on medications is outdated.

There's just too much pseudo-science here for me to take anything in this book seriously.

This is a book to use* and not to just read. I was looking for a book that would tell me something about which poses would be safe and this mostly answers that need. The first part deals with osteoporosis, what it is and what the treatment options are and is quite informative and, I feel, valuable. The rest of the book gives the reader a routine of yoga poses appropriate to their current condition. The first variation of each pose is for osteoporosis, the second for osteopenia, and the third for prevention (for those who do not yet have a problem). There are detailed instructions and photos as well as contra-indications for each pose. The only failing I see so far is that the authors did not emphasize a mild warm-up routine as much as I would have liked.… (meer)
