Mr. Miller has captured the essence of using yoga postures and other techniques to ameliorate the bane of man's existence: those nagging, chronic pain sensations that seem to get us all at one point or another. I happen to be an occuptional medicine medical doctor and have seen tens of thousands of people for those very common aches and pains of which Mr. Miller writes. His advice is right on the money which is exactly what you'll save by using this book instead of buying potentially harmful drugs or paying for doctor appointment after doctor appointment. Of course, there is a role for medical attention. But there is also a heavily under-utilized role for self administered tender loving care in the form of these gentle therapuetic yoga postures and breath work. So free yourself self from the pain body and waiting rooms and get this book and (here is the most important aspect) APPLY it.
Simply brilliant

For those interested in simply finding relief from pain or discomfort Fred Miller has distilled the ancient practice of Yoga to bring it's benefits to the practical Western mind. Though it's written in a prescriptive format, all the exercises or postures are sequenced in such a way as to bring a deep overall sense of well-being. It's accessible, easy to understand and use. After all, as the author says, the best exercise is the one you do. I found relief from a nagging lower back discomfort through his simple formula that showed me that I was just plain doing the wrong things like stretching where it hurt. It's obvious that the author knows what he's talking about but he doesn't try to impress you with his knowledge, rather in the spirit of true wisdom he shares with humor and clarity. BUY it, even if you don't hurt!
