A physical therapist and a yoga instructor teamed up to write this book which offers general recommendations for yoga students with underlying conditions and their teachers. In addition to suggesting modifications and safety tips, the authors offer practices to benefit those with common challenges as well as those interested in improving their well-being and preventing problems, proving that a practice that accommodates those with common conditions is a practice for everyone.

Headaches, neck discomfort, and jaw painKyphosisOsteoporosisScoliosisStenosisSciaticaSacroiliac joint dysfunctionPlantar fasciitisBunions and “knock-knees”Knee sensitivityArthritisFrozen shoulderCarpal tunnel syndrome (and other wrist issues)Tennis elbowParkinson’s diseaseDementiaReviews
“As a yoga and Pilates teacher and movement specialist and enthusiast, I value the need for functional movement in a way that makes sense for all bodies. Yoga for Common Conditions offers a wonderful framework to share yoga with everyone. Often yoga can get sidetracked by marketing gimmicks and pseudoscience that takes away from the purpose and benefits of the yoga asana practice. I appreciate the evidence-based, inclusive, and invitational content of Yoga for Common Conditions.This book is a must-have for those of us who teach and share yoga and movement with the intention of creating an equitable and accessible practice for all bodies; itis an excellent addition to your yoga library and teacher training curriculums.” —Dianne Bondy, author of Yoga for Everyone and co-author of Yoga Where You Are
