Book Reviews of Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing
Book Review: Good info, but chaotic organization
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure there is a lot of good information in here, but I just can't get through it because of the organization of the book. Other books are so better presented (Yoga for Arthritis and other of that author's books, for example).
Yoga as Medicine is sort of a collection of different "big" yoga teachers around the world and how they approach specific conditions. I just prefer a more straightforward approach of 'this is the issue, these are the facts, and here's what you can do about it.' I don't like the story/case study style that seems very limiting to me. Also, I don't like the collection style where one author is writing the overall book but referencing the information as "So and so says this" and "Gary recommends this pose for...." I find it disjointed and disorganized. I just want to read the information and learn and I don't care who said it and for whom the series was created.
In summary, you have to do a lot of work in getting through the book. I've read some pretty huge "technical" yoga, anatomy and physiology books so I'm not afraid of the effort. I just think there are better options out there.
