Yoga for Depression: A Compassionate Guide to Relieve Suffering Through Yoga Paperback – December 23, 2003

This is a great book with many great tips and a lot of good advice. I would suggest not buying books used though. When I received this one the first 12 pages were gone-the entire first chapter! Disappointing.

I read this book with deliberation and care and did not find any redundancies or unnecessary text at all, as a previous reviewer suggested. Instead I found a remarkable roadmap for not only controlling depression and anxiety, but finding the reward of a yoga practice on the other side. I didn't believe this going in, but was delighted to have let Amy change my heart and mind from suffering to a much better place. She is such an amazing healer. Buy this book if you want to feel great.

This book is a fantastic contribution to the wholistic healing movement. It is well researched and well-written. Amy Weintraub explains the condition of depression from an Eastern standpoint very well. Then she gives solutions to help relieve depression and explains them with ease. Her solution is obviously yoga. A little bit of daily discipline is all that is required. I am looking forward to to a better and healthier way of thinking. Thank you Amy.

I didn't think that the things this book teaches you could actually work. Well they do! With the help of this book I can catch myself and prevent a panic attack from happening and its so easy. I highly recommend this book. The author makes you feel so comfortable with yourself and helps you really connect on a universal level to find peace within yourself!

Recommend this book to any one who has struggled with depression and loves yoga. It is a book with easy to follow directions - asanas, breath and meditation. If new to yoga try some community classes first to get familiar with the poses and then start working with this book.

A great way to deal with depression and improve one's health. Author is highly respected in her field. Good work.

Amazing book! The author did a fantastic job of explaining the differences between depression and anxiety & how they need individual postures and treatments. As someone who has suffered from anxiety most of my life, within a week I was already making and seeing changes! Must Read!

Helped a bit but hard to stay with if really medically depressed.
