Yoga
for Health the Iyengar Way
with
Father Joseph Pereira
Renowned Iyengar teacher, Father Joseph Pereira of Mumbai,
India, leads this instructional DVD of restorative asana
with focus on specific health issues. He guides the viewer
through five distinct series of poses. These postures offer
the vital healing necessary to overcome addictive behaviors,
immune deficiency, heart and lung ailments, back pain, and
stress. The poses are taught and demonstrated by two instructors
from the Yoga Studio College of Canada while narrated by
Pereira, who offers insight on how pranic energy flows through
each pose and helps address the health concern at hand.
The goal of using restorative yoga for healing is to bring
about a sense of well being in the whole person, beyond the
body and mind. While the classical postures work on and address
the central nervous system, restorative yoga leads the practitioner
from the periphery to the center, beginning with the sympathetic
nervous system, through the autonomic nervous system, and
back into the central nervous system. This still, quiet practice
is accessible to the novice, beginner, and those challenged
by physical limitations.
The DVD provides a meditative
atmosphere with the measured, comforting voice of a yogic healer
to guide the viewer. Sanskrit
names for each asana with translation are provided, along
with modifications and recommended use of props. Since props
play such a large role in the restorative yoga taught on this
DVD, we've included a complete list of the required items
after the buy button.
Joseph Pereira of Mumbai, India is a senior

model to wellness centers around the world.
