I've been looking for gentle ways to stay active, so I'm really glad I found this book. Regular yoga puts too much pressure on my wrists, shoulders, and ankles, but these exercises are attainable for me -- and that frees up my mind to focus more on my breathing. Instructions are clearly written and supported with lots of pictures. Also, I appreciate that this book is written by professionals who are up to date with their field. For example, they explain that neck rolls are no longer considered safe and provide alternatives. That's not something you're likely to find in the many self-published books on this topic. Overall, this is a useful book that I'll come back to often. Thanks to everyone who produced it!
