This user-friendly guide: - Describes how yoga works - Includes photographs and descriptions of each pose - Explains effects, advantages, and contraindications - Contains "starter poses" that will help the uninitiated or physically challenged to gently achieve a posture This book is an excellent guide and tool for people with MS, people who undertake yoga on their own, and for all members of the medical and yoga communities.
