YOGA AND DIABETES, Annie B. Kay, MS, RDN, RYT, and Lisa B. Nelson, MD,
Yoga and Diabetes book
Yoga does more than manage stress. In addition to calming the nervous system, it improves circulation throughout the body, increases muscular tone, improves balance, allows improved breathing, and provides gentle physical activity that nearly anyone can do. Now, research has proven that yoga practice has a significant potential for addressing key lifestyle and behavioral issues with disorders such as type 2 diabetes.
YOGA & DIABETES [June 2015, $19.95 US / $24.99 CAN] is an accessible guide for individuals with diabetes who are interested in beginning or deepening a yoga practice. It provides tailored guidance to people with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, and features 30 yoga postures and breathing exercises arranged into programs to suit every person’s individual needs. Annie B. Kay, MS, RDN, RYT, lead nutritionist at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health teams up with Lisa B. Nelson, MD, director of medical education at Kripalu, to provide easy-to-read text and detailed photographs explaining how to practice yoga safely.
