McGonigal (yoga & psychology, Stanford Univ.; editor in chief, "International Journal of Yoga Therapy") presents a mixture of theory (at times quite heady) and practice. Within the textual pieces, she explores and explains topics such as the differences among chronic, acute physical, and emotional pain (depression). Wherever possible, she cites written research, although she occasionally talks of wisdom and the practice of mindfulness, which may seem obscure to some readers. With approachable step-by-step instructions and photosone person standing, the other sitting or doing an alternate pose appropriately if one has pain or physical restrictionsthe book also includes individuals' stories to illustrate practical application and success. The overall tone is gentle and informative. VERDICT This thorough explanation of specific yoga practices and poses designed for pain relief will best suit those already familiar and comfortable with the purpose and meaning of yoga.Elizabeth J.
