Yoga for Depression
by Amy Weintraub
This widely praised book not only
shows the path to mental health through yoga for people suffering
from anxiety based depression, bi-polar disorder, dysthmia and
other problems, but it is a personal story of how the author recovered
from severe depression, without the use of drugs, through immersing
herself in a daily yoga routine.
In the book, author and veteran yoga instructor,
Amy Weintraub, details how specific postures, breathing practices and meditation
techniques can ease suffering and release life's traumas and losses. She
makes it possible for the reader to tap the scientifically proven link between
yoga and emotional well being, while taking advantage of the beauty of ancient
approaches to inner peace.
Praise for Yoga for Depression:
Yoga for Depression is a godsend:
beautifully written, medically accurate, and very practical. I
highly recommend it! —Christiane Northrup, M.D.,

Singh Khalsa, M.D., Author of Meditation as Medicine
Amy Weintraub's work is some of
the most important in our world today for helping humanity understand
more deeply the significance of the
mind-body connection. Her insights are inspirational for yoga teachers
and all readers. –Rama Jyoti Vernon, Founder, American Yoga College
This is a book about integrating
the mind and the body, about using movement to mend oneself; in
a world obsessed with psychopharmacology,
reading it was a refreshing reminder that, in some cases, the tools
we have to cure depression reside not in a pill, but in our own bodies,
if we are willing to try. —Lauren Slater, author of Prozac Diary
and Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir
Yoga for Depression belongs in
the hands of every person who experiences depression and in the
library of every therapist who works with people
suffering from depression. —Richard C. Miller, Ph.D., Co-Founder
of The International Asso.of Yoga Therapy.
In the compassionate voice of someone
who definitely knows the territory of depression, Amy Weintraub
presents Yoga science and personal stories,
research results and poetry, and practice instructions that are genuinely
interesting in this very readable book that is both comprehensive
and totally inspiring. —Sylvia Boorstein, author
of That’s Funny
You Don’t Look Like a Buddhist and It’s Easier Than You
Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness
Yoga for Depression is an astonishingly
comprehensive guide to the art and science of Yoga. Herein lies
a Yogic blueprint for how to be
a human being, written by a compassionate and generous teacher. —Stephen
Cope, author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self
This is truly a beautifully written
encyclopedia of yoga for depression. It is rare to find such a
generous soul, willing to embrace all approaches
to yoga, unbiased and yet having intelligent discernment and advice
for those searching for help. In Yoga for Depression, Amy offers
many guidelines and solutions through yoga, to both those who suffer
from
depression and to yoga teachers working with them. —Angela
Farmer,
internationally known master Yoga teacher
With clarity, compassion, and the
courage of a person who has lived her own story all the way through,
Amy Weintraub offers readers a self-aware,
self-creating path through the darker thickets of a life. Her specific,
gracefully presented suggestions for joining breath, body, movement,
and mind bring one of the great wisdom traditions into a newly useful
context, an essential means for renewing and reawakening contemporary
life.” —Jane Hirshfield, author of five books of poetry,
most recently Given Sugar, Given Salt: Poems
If you are looking for an inspiring
and trustworthy guide to heal into a whole new life, look no further. —Richard
Faulds, author of Kripalu Yoga: A Guide to Practice On and Off the

for those seeking to reclaim their birthright
of joy. —Sudhir Jonathan Foust
