Yoga for Healthy Aging: A Guide to Lifelong Well-Being

I bought this as a companion to a workshop I took. I haven’t read too far into it and probably didn’t really need to buy it. But it does have a lot of information for me so I keep bringing it with me to read now and then.I do like that the instructors I take classes under align with this info.

As a yoga instructor, I enjoyed reading this book and have already recommended it to friends and family. I really appreciate the illustrations (black & white-but great, clear pics). I love the different sequencing sections (example-“upper body strength practice”), and how it offers four variations/options for most of the poses pictured. There's also a nice section in the back with contraindications for medical conditions, including issues with knees, elbows, high blood pressure, etc....It's definitely one of the nicest yoga books I've seen-with tons of valuable information included :-)

Easy to read and understand. Accurate good information.

I found a lot of good information in this book. I am a Yoga Teacher and it was very helpful as a teacher and a student.

I was recommended yoga therapy by the pain clinic I go to. Never done yoga before so I found this book at local library. Showed it to my yoga therapist, and after examining it, she highly recommended it to my classmates. She also wrote down the book information to pass onto others. This book has so much incredible information and help that I decided to buy it.

This book is a great companion to Baxter Bell Yoga's videos on YouTube and the Yoga for Healthy Aging blog (recently gone on hiatus). While the techniques are simple, the depth of explanation is just right for anyone to practice or teach. I always enjoy a good hard copy reference, but bought this one on Kindle as well, so I'd have a copy for the road. I've recommended this book to all of my teaching staff and other wellness professionals in the community who are interested in keeping yoga accessible for graceful aging.

Yoga for healthy aging is more than just a book of yoga poses, although it has an abundance of well photographed variations of poses. What I especially enjoy about this book is that it explains, in clear, easy to understand language, what happens to our bodies as we age and how yoga can help us live a life of greater ease. Highly recommended!

After hearing Baxter present at an Accessible Yoga conference in San Francisco, I waited patiently for my book to arrive once it was released. The authors are so clear on the presentation and I love the multiple ways they show to do each pose. I teach chair yoga to seniors and others with physical limitations. The Contraindications section is invaluable. This is my new "go-to" resource and I have already introduced much of what I have read into my classes. Thank you so much!

Great inspiration for everyone to start or continue their yoga practice. Easy to read. Good reference for yoga instructors.

great book for those more mature people like me who are just starting out.Gives alternatives and helpful advice for people who find particular poses difficult and gives suggestions of poses for building strength,balance,flexibility and cardiac health poses.easy to follow photographs

A must have book for anyone concerned about the issues of safety in your students or your own personal yoga practice. No matter how old we are we are all aging and the goal is to do that to the best of our ability.

I bought after finding the website amazing (and it's free) . It didn't disappoint full of great information and answered lots of my questions about teaching. Great reference book, generally as well as for looking at age related changes

Very happy to receive such excellent service.
