Would you like to age with grace and vitality? Increase your strength, energy and flexibility? Sleep better and be sharper mentally? You can achieve all of these if you practice yoga on a regular basis. Many women go to class once or twice a week and want to practice at home but just don't know how to begin. Yoga for Women at Midlife and Beyond: A Home Companion will give women over 50 the support and guidance they need to create a personal yoga practice in the privacy of their own home. This guidebook includes ten yoga practices with clear illustrations that you can follow on your own, such as a practice for energizing, one for relaxation and another for insomnia. The manual also contains practical information about where, when and how long to practice, how to set an intention and get support for your practice, how to use your breath to enhance your practice, and how to sustain a home practice. Concepts from classical yoga philosophy to help readers deepen their practice and integrate relevant concepts into their lives are introduced and inspiring stories from women over 50 about how yoga has made a difference to them are peppered throughout the book.

Summary: Simply outstanding!
Comment: I recently purchased this book and I absolutely love it! I've been practicing yoga since the seventies, but what "worked" back then has not been working for me for quite a while. As we all know, things change a bit for women after we hit fifty and beyond. This practice is superb -- gentle, calming, relaxing yet invigorating, and I don't have to worry about injuring myself. Pat's voice throughout is encouraging and supportive. It is clear that she speaks with wisdom, knowledge, and caring, as well as many years of experience. The variety of routines is ideal and allows you to rotate them depending on your needs or how you feel on a particular day. There is also wonderful information about breathing, meditation, and yoga philosophy, if that interests you. I must add that the drawings in the book are superb. They are clear, uncluttered, and make the postures easy to follow. The artist did an excellent job. Also, Pat includes photos of a number of beautiful women elders, some even in their seventies and beyond, doing poses. What an inspiration! What a fabulous book!

Summary: A life support for women...
Comment: I've been doing yoga for over 30 years and have read a lot of yoga books. This is the first book I've found that really speaks to me as a woman in her early 60s. The author's voice is warm and inviting, the illustrations are easy to follow, and I feel so relaxed and clear after I do one of the recommended practices. Lorraine Schechter, author of "The Seasons of Yes: Poems and Images"

Summary: MY OLDER BODY THANKS YOU
Comment: We all know that we've got to keep moving as we age or we'll freeze in place and crack when we go to stand up. Thanks for writing a book that helps me stay motivated and moving. Pamela D. Blair, Author, The Next Fifty Years: A Guide for Women at Midlife and Beyond

Summary: A Great Book!
Comment: As soon as I heard this book was available, I ordered a copy and read it. I loved the writing, the descriptions and explanations. The writer's voice is so clear and calming. Reading the book is like listening to a loving yoga teacher. I showed it to the Yoga for Wise Women class I teach and everyone commented how appealing the book was as well. This is an excellent book to guide women in mid-life and beyond in yoga practices that will support their health and well-being.
