"By combining traditional psychology with the deep teachings of
yoga, Mary and Rick NurrieStearns help you move past anxiety in
order to experience your true nature. Yoga for Anxiety clearly
shows that when you are willing to mindfully face and release your
anxiety, it actually becomes a doorway to deep inner freedom and
happiness."
--Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul
"Feeling anxious is so much a part of modern life that we almost
forget how limiting it can be. But not these authors. They offer us
clear information and techniques for dealing with anxiety on a
daily basis. They teach us what the brain does when we are anxious,
and what we can do about it, by changing the focus of our thinking
and getting us on the yoga mat and meditation cushion for
time-honored practices. --But mostly they give us readers the
confidence that we can transcend our anxiety and lead richer and
more enjoyable lives. Highly recommended for yoga teachers and
others interested in the whole picture of anxiety, including the
spiritual angst that usually accompanies it. I especially enjoyed
the personal stories scattered throughout the book."
--Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., PT, has been teaching yoga since
1971 and is author of eight books, including Yogabody
"Writing in a clear, step-by-step format, Mary and Rick
NurrieStearns provide simple practices to help identify and
counteract negative thoughts, induce relaxation, develop awareness,
reduce stress, and heal anxiety. The authors create a connection
with the reader by using images and examples from everyday life
that resonate with everyone's experiences. Yoga for Anxiety
integrates modern psychology with basic yoga practices, including
postures, breathing, mindfulness, and meditation. In the early
chapters, basic information suitable for beginners provides the
foundation for more advanced material as the book progresses. For
anyone suffering from anxiety, Yoga for Anxiety is a great place to
begin the journey to recovery."
--Patricia L. Gerbarg, MD, and Richard P. Brown, MD, coauthors of
How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care
"Yoga is one of the best-validated therapies in the entire field of
integrative medicine. It is especially valuable because it
addresses all we are: body, mind, and spirit. Yoga for Anxiety is
an excellent guide for anyone seeking greater serenity, peace, and
fulfillment, and who isn't?"
--Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words and The Power of
Premonitions
