▷▷▷▷ Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss: Format-DVD Review


This was one of my favorite videos when I was new to yoga, and it's still my top recommendation to others looking to try yoga for the first time. The best thing about this practice is that it offers four different levels of modifications, making it completely accessible to everyone, including those who are inflexible yet overweight. The practice is led by a beautifully inspiring older instructor, Suzanne Deason, whose voice is calm and whose body is both strong and limber. She is accompanied by three yoga students, two of whom are larger-sized; I particularly liked how the two larger models displayed the more flexible versions of the poses, showing that all the poses can be done by anyone, regardless of body type. The practice itself is a gentle yoga workout for your entire body, with a particular focus on your breathing and an inclusion of abs/core work. It begins with some basic breathing instruction in both seated and standing positions. Suzanne then leads your through a nice variety of standing poses, including a warrior series, lunges, triangle, and wide legged forward bend. The practice concludes on the floor with abdominal work, twists, bridge, and relaxation pose to finish, for a total of 47 minutes. If you are doing modified versions of the poses, props such as a yoga block are recommended.

This is an excellent practice that is both relaxing and energizing. More advanced yoga students may find the routine to be too slow and the moves to be too easy, but as I said above, it's ideally suited to beginners. Do you think that you're not flexible enough to do yoga? So did I; this video changed my mind. Highly recommended!

Product Description

▷▷▷▷ Yoga for Wellness Review


I purchased this book because it seemed to contain information similar to another yoga manual, The Anatomy of Hatha Yoga, but with the information presented in a more down-to-earth, less scientific manner (The Anatomy of Hatha Yoga is excellent, just a bit above my head!). This book is neither strictly a reference tool nor a practice guide, yet author Kraftsow touches on both of these areas. He presents information mainly in the former of vignettes describing past clients with whom he has worked. After providing an overview of the anatomical issues involved in various types of posture groups, Kraftsow goes into therapeutic applications of yoga, covering complains ranging from common aches and pains to physical diseases to emotional issues. He stresses the importance of customizing the prescribed yoga routine to each individual, but the wealth of information provided offers plenty of guidelines to allow readers to develop their own specialized practice. This book would also be very useful for yoga teachers looking for assistance in providing their students with individualized guidance, particularly with respect to wellness issues. A highly recommended work.

Product Description
Healing with the timeless teachings yoga from a world-renowned teacher of viniyoga. Fully illustrated, easy-to-follow guide drawing on the physical and spiritual components of yoga therapy for healing many common afflictions from common aches and pains to chronic disease to emotional health.

▷▷▷▷ Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants Review


I found this book to be a very easy to understand read. It's statistics on homeopathic treatment is incredible. I'm familar with homeopathic medicine but my husband is not. He found that this was one of the most informative and easiest to understand books that he has read. My husband is not a reader either, so of course I find this impressive. Plus my husband was not a believer prior to reading this (he is not easily influenced even though I've been practicing on myself for a couple of years) but now he is open to the idea of treating our children rather than being prescribed medicine by the doctor. In addition this book supports professional treatment if illness does not improve.

Product Description
In this comprehensive book, the nation's leading homeopathic educator provides everything parents need to know about treating their children's ailments at home with homeopathic medicines. Included is a complete guide to the correct use of homeopathy, recommended remedies for the treatment of more than seventy-five common physical, emotional, and behavioral conditions, and valuable information on the essential medicines that all parents should have in their home medicine kits.

▷▷▷▷ Healing Childhood Ear Infections Review


this gem of a book completely transformed our family's ear infection experience.based on information contained herein and with the support of an amazing osteopathic doctor, my son went from a 12-month streak of 2-3 ear infections a month to 2-3 a year.that was the first year, then after that, 1.year after that, zero.he's now 7 and hasn't had one in more than 2 years.

i recommend both that you read this book, and that you find a physician who will support you in reducing or eliminating antibiotics as treatment for ear infections (as medically appropriate.)our doctor got us an otoscope and trained us how to use it so we could monitor the severity of the infection so we were empowered with the knowledge of how severe the infection was and could choose to get medication only when absolutely necessary.

Product Description
Ear infections are the #1 reason parents bring their children to a doctor. This new revision of an essential family health reference, by Micheal Schmidt, analyzes in simple language the numerous recent scientific studies showing that the standard medical treatments for childhood ear infections are ineffective and perhaps even dangerous, and offers recommendations on alternative care.

▷▷▷▷ Anatomy of Hatha Yoga Review


I am a mostly casual yogini, probably at an advanced beginner to intermediate level, but I am always interested in expanding my knowledge and improving my form. As you can see from the reviews which precede mine, this book comes highly recommended, and I must add my own kudos. Author David Coulter has done an amazing job of breaking down a huge amount of scientific information on anatomy and communicating it in a readable, relevant form. In each chapter, Coulter first presents applicable anatomical concepts and then relates these concepts to specific posture groups. He frequently guides the reader through brief asana exercises to better illustrate particular areas of focus in the body; I found these exercises to be especially helpful. Clear black and white photos accompany many of the text's asana descriptions, and the various anatomical illustrations provide supplemental information. I admit that some of the more detailed anatomical discussions were well over my head, but this is due to my own shortcomings, not those of the author. Even with this limitation, I found this book to be extremely educational; yoga teachers and more advanced practitioners are likely to derive even more benefit from this comprehensive manual.

Product Description
A manual for students, teachers, and practitioners - an authoritative and comprehensive correlation of hatha yoga with anatomy and physiology. A cornucopia of readable and reliable information by a Ph.D. anatomy professor and long-time yoga practitioner. Detailed analysis of postures, breathing, and other practices with many photos and illustrations, full glossary, and anatomical index61/4" x 91/4" / 623 pages. Hardback.

▷▷▷▷ The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health Review


This book is written by long-time yoga practitioner Linda Sparrowe in conjunction with Patricia Walden, a world-renowned yogi. They have created a unique manual on health and wellness throughout the lifespan which is designed specifically for women. Although the main focus is on yoga sequences, the book also includes general information on various health-related issues faced by women as well as tips and strategies for maintaining health.

The book is organized into sections which correspond to each phase of a woman's life. For example, Part Two, The Time of Awakening, is geared towards teenaged/young adult women and focuses on menstrual health and immune system support, whereas the final section, Wisdom from the Heart, is designed with older women in mind and concentrates on minimizing post-menopausal symptoms and other similar conditions. Although each section does have an intended age audience, women of all ages are likely to find something of use in every chapter--for example, a younger woman struggling with depression might benefit from the depression chapter geared to postpartum women, whereas an older woman who suffers from headaches could obtain assistance from the "Relieving Headaches" chapter written as part of the Coming Into Fullness section. There are also three general yoga sequences at the start of the book which are intended for all women; these sequences revolve around essential, energizing, and restorative themes.

Beginning yoga practitioners will find the short introduction on how to use the book to be helpful. Patricia Walden's training is in Iyengar yoga, which means that she utilizes a variety of props to make the poses more accessible. Props are particularly recommended for restorative postures, as they allow you to relax more fully into the pose. Easy-to-understand, detailed instructions and clear, precise photographs are used to describe every yoga pose. Many of the poses also include information about positive effects, potential modifications, and any cautions. Some sequences detail shorter practices with only 6 or so postures included, but others offer longer practices of up to 26 postures.

This book is appropriate for female yogis of all levels, from beginning to advanced (although I should note that many of the sequences include headstand and/or shoulderstand, postures that shouldn't be attempted by beginners without the aid of a yoga instructor). The book would make a wonderful gift for any woman with an interest in wellness issues, and I highly recommend it!

Product Description
This book will help women of all ages deepen their understanding of how to adapt yoga to their changing needs and how to use yoga through all the stages of life--menstruation through menopause--with grace and equanimity. It is filled with wise feminine wisdom! Photos are helpful in showing how to use props in home practice. A definitive guide which can benefit all women. Paperback. 368 pages. Dimensions in inches 0.80 x 10.94 x 8.40

▷▷▷▷ Weight Loss Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide Review


this is a fabulous book if you are looking for ways to not only lose weight but also increase your overall health. there are no rules, no wacky diets, but lots of information on different reasons for weight gain and help understand how to change your course. it's really given me options so i can decide for myself what will work for me, and how i will go about controlling my diet.

Product Description
From the Editors of Alternative Medicine magazine comes the latest research on nutrition, supplements, and healthy weight loss. 25 respected doctors explain the connections between toxins and body weight, herbs and vitamins that can assist healthy metabolism, enzymes, emotional eating, thyroid function, allergies and cravings, and much more.

Not just a diet book-its about improving your health by learning to eat in a balanced way. Well-known in the field of alternative medicine, Goldberg says that "unlike the countless fad diets, alternative medicine recognizes that one size does not fit all." Each person is different, with different biochemistry, and has gained weight for different reasons.

Goldberg starts with a general discussion of diets and why they dont work for most people. He describes some of the serious health problems associated with being overweight, and explains what causes weight gain in general terms.

He then gets into specific information about those causes. He discusses things like what is eaten and how often you eat, the role of exercise, psychology (eating as a response to stress or boredom, etc.), and chemical imbalances, such as those caused by an underactive thyroid, hormones, allergies, yeast infections, and parasites.

Goldberg explains how to customize a diet to fit your needs, including basic information on the components of food, like fats and carbohydrates, the role of nutritional supplements, and alternative ...

▷▷▷▷ Eternal Om Review


How exciting to be the very first person to review this remarkable CD.

I could shrink back in fear.

I could turn back now and let someone else be the first to review this CD.

I could go on to tell you that this is a very inspirational recording that will quickly train your mind to go into a deep meditative state but you must have the willingness, the desire, the enthusiasm to let the OM...the AUM... move through every cell of your body so that you will awaken from your sleep and come to know with Jesus as well as the other Spiritual Masters that we are gods in the making

We are?

We are.

WE ARE!

And because we are gods in practice as well as gods in reality we must train our minds and remind our hearts that we are the eyes, ears, hands, and feet of the Divine and this CD can help us to reawaken...it really can.

Product Description
The Om invokes the all that is otherwise inexpressible; it is the highest spiritual sound on the earth. Using the latest electronic technology, in this soothing, uplifting and spiritually inspiring tape, Valley of the Sun has synthesized various pitches from human voices intoning the Om at the prescribed vibrations. Ideal for meditation, massage or relaxation.
