This is the best yoga book on arthritis and modifications in general. Well thought out and organized. It shows pictures of the poses at different stages of modifications with full explanations of purpose, alignment, and contraindications. I already gave my copy to a sister who needs relief from her pain and plan to replace it. Ellen saltonstall and Loren Fishman have the experience needed and articulate beautifully!

This book was a gift for my 81 year old mother. She has told me that she enjoys the techniques and has seen improvement.

This book will contains very useful sequences with clear instructions. I find that my students who have bought it and seriously practiced the parts that pertained to them (shoulder, hands and wrists, for example) got relief and increased range of motion. It is very useful for me in the classroom.
My only objection is that it claims to be a blend of Iyengar and Anusara yoga. Iyengar teachers will recognize that all that claims to be Anusara can be found in the Iyengar method–except that different language is used, like “spirals”. The bottom line is that it’s a very useful book.
