I can't disagree more with the first reviewer. This is the best book I've ever had on therapeutic yoga. I have helped myself and so many of my students by using the exercises in it. It is my go-to resource! The exercises are perfectly intelligible to any reasonably experienced yoga teacher or intermediate-level students. None of the poses are difficult to do and many of them are ideal as warm-up exercises for a regular yoga practice or class.
Though a complex and in depth resource, it would be even harder for mainstream yoga teachers to grasp all the terminology. Am sure this would be directed towards the medical professional.
