Restorative yoga therapy
Book Description
In a world where yoga often feels exclusive or intimidating, Leeann Carey offers a revolutionary approach that welcomes every body and every stage of life. Drawing inspiration from the Sanskrit concept of "Yapana" - meaning the support and extension of life - Carey has developed an inclusive practice that meets practitioners exactly where they are.
This transformative guide reimagines yoga fundamentals through the strategic use of accessible props like chairs, pillows, and walls. Rather than diluting the practice, these supportive tools allow practitioners to hold poses longer and explore deeper states of awareness. Carey's method builds upon the respected lineage of B.K.S. Iyengar, demonstrating how thoughtful modifications can enhance rather than compromise the authentic yoga experience.
At its heart, this approach dissolves the competitive mindset that often accompanies physical practice. Instead of striving to achieve perfect poses, readers learn to cultivate genuine awareness and acceptance of their present reality while gently moving toward their fullest potential. The practice becomes a pathway to mindful living and wholehearted engagement with life.
Whether you're new to yoga, managing physical limitations, or simply seeking a more compassionate approach to movement, Carey's method offers practical wisdom for creating a sustainable practice. This book demonstrates that yoga's deepest gifts - mindfulness, self-acceptance, and joyful movement - are available to everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or physical ability.
