The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health is the first comprehensive book about women’s health issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors offer a complete yoga program for general health as well as pose sequences that address specific health problems—all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example, in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear instructions that tell how to get in

Review by Suza Francina for The Woman’s Book of Yoga and Health: A Lifelong Guide to Wellness

I am delighted with my copy of The Woman’s Book of Yoga & Health and recommend highly to beginners,experienced practitioners and teachers alike. On Thanksgiving Day this book sat on my coffee table and I listened to all the positive the comments from the women in my family as they browsed through the book and admired the clear, inspiring photographs. My nephew’s young wife, who recently took her first yoga class, said “These photos really show how you are supposed to place the props and how to practice at home. And I like that it shows how to practice when you’re pregnant.” My younger sister, also a newcomer to yoga, going through menopause like myself, turned to the chapter on “Easing into Menopause” and said “This looks great!” And I know my 20 year old daughter will benefit from this book now and in the years to come. She has recently begun practicing in earnest and so I will also give her a copy for Christmas. The Woman’s Book of Yoga & Health will help women of all ages deepen their understanding of how to adapt yoga to their changing needs and how to use yoga through all the stages of life–menstruation through menopause–with grace and equanimity. It radiates feminine wisdom!

As a long time practioner of Pilates, a relative newcomer to traditional yoga, and a woman who has, and will, experience some of the health issues, I found this book a great source of reference. What I found most useful, aside from Patricia’s yoga poses & Linda Sparrowe’s easy-to-read writing style, are the suggested herbal & dietary alternatives throughout the book. Not only do I have a copy, I bought one for all my closest girlfriends!! This book is a definate must-have in any woman’s bookcase!!

This book is written by long-time yoga practitioner Linda Sparrowe in conjunction with Patricia Walden, a world-renowned yogi. They have created a unique manual on health and wellness throughout the lifespan which is designed specifically for women. Although the main focus is on yoga sequences, the book also includes general information on various health-related issues faced by women as well as tips and strategies for maintaining health.
The book is organized into sections which correspond to each phase of a woman’s life. For example, Part Two, The Time of Awakening, is geared towards teenaged/young adult women and focuses on menstrual health and immune system support, whereas the final section, Wisdom from the Heart, is designed with older women in mind and concentrates on minimizing postmenopausal symptoms and other similar conditions. Although each section does have an intended age audience, women of all ages are likely to find something of use in every chapter–for example, a younger woman struggling with depression might benefit from the depression chapter geared to postpartum women, whereas an older woman who suffers from headaches could obtain assistance from the “Relieving Headaches” chapter written as part of the Coming Into Fullness section. There are also three general yoga sequences at the start of the book which are intended for all women; these sequences revolve around essential, energizing, and restorative themes.
Beginning yoga practitioners will find the short introduction on how to use the book to be helpful. Patricia Walden’s training is in Iyengar yoga, which means that she utilizes a variety of props to make the poses more accessible. Props are particularly recommended for restorative postures, as they allow you to relax more fully into the pose. Easy-to-understand, detailed instructions and clear, precise photographs are used to describe every yoga pose. Many of the poses also include information about positive effects, potential modifications, and any cautions. Some sequences detail shorter practices with only 6 or so postures included, but others offer longer practices of up to 26 postures.
This book is appropriate for female yogis of all levels, from beginning to advanced (although I should note that many of the sequences include headstand and/or shouldstand, postures that shouldn’t be attempted by beginners without the aid of a yoga instructor). The book would make a wonderful gift for any woman with an interest in wellness issues, and I highly recommend it!

A yoga book focusing on women hasn’t been that many in the past. This book solely focuses on women, the various phases in life of a women, the problems (and pleasures) in those phases. Studying Yoga and applying to these various phases is a commendable and worthy effort. The authors have done a great job overall.As a Yoga Teacher I find this book indispensible considering the fact 90% of yoga students are women. It helped me understand many aspects of the women’s body as one ages. Each phase in a women’s life is analyzed and appropriate yoga postures and practices are recommended. There is three main sequences of postures applicable generally to women of all ages – essential, energizing and restorative. If you read the book in one go you may walk away with the impression that there isn’t much difference; but where this book will be more useful is for the women who looks to Yoga to address the particular phase she is in.If you are a woman starting yoga or a yoga teacher, you want to have this book in your library.

It is no longer best practice to just know drug names and dosages so this is a book that needs to be a standard reference for every clinic that provides care to women. It should be readily available to all faculty & students who focus on women’s and maternity services. Consumers will find it useful too but due to its size donating a copy to your local library or women’s club may be the best investment. Congratulations to the Editors and authors!
