Overpower Pain

Image
Book Description   "More than 55 million Americans have experienced chronic pain lasting more than three years, and even more will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. In this book, Mitchell Yass shows that such pain is the result not of physical injuries such as herniated discs or arthritis, but of muscular imbalance and weakness.

Using the program he has developed in his fifteen years as a physical therapist, Mitchell Yass provides a comprehensive program with illustrations and detailed instructions to help readers return to full functioning capacity.

After clearly explaining the components of Kundalini Yoga and how to practice yoga and meditation at home, the book then details nine postures, seven yoga sets, and eight meditations. Guidance is provided on possible challenges the plus-sized might experience. There are even short (three-minute) meditations for those who don't have time to meditate. Those with smaller waists will also find the material in this book helpful. All this is done with lightness and humor while still being true to all elements of yoga. Book Review   I really loved this book.  First off, the book is big with huge pr

Video Review   I hadn’t seen Carole Maggio’s previous DVDs.  So I was really in for a treat when I popped this into the DVD player.  The exercises are easy to do.  Carole explains everything in detail so you understand what the person on the screen is doing.  Plus you get to see the person doing the exercise.  After doing the exercises for just a few weeks, I can see and feel the difference in my face.  Even my friends noticed the difference.
