"Yoga for Depression is a godsend: beautifully written,
medically accurate, and very practical. I highly recommend it!"
--Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's
Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause "This is a book about
integrating the mind and the body, about using movement to mend
oneself; in a world obsessed with psychopharmacology, reading it
was a refreshing reminder that, in some cases, the tools we have to
cure depression reside not in a pill, but in our own bodies, if we
are willing to try."
--Lauren Slater, author of Prozac Diary and Lying: A Metaphorical
Memoir "...A sensitive, intelligent, painstaking exploration of the
deeper psychospiritual issues that make up the complex experience
of depression. That in itself would be a significant contribution,
but Yoga for Depression also offers a brilliant illumination of how
the ancient wisdom of the yogic tradition can penetrate the often
intractable challenges of depression....
--Phil Catalfo, Yoga Journal, January/February 2004 "In the
compassionate voice of someone who definitely knows the territory
of depression, Amy Weintraub presents Yoga science and personal
stories, research results and poetry, and practice instructions
that are genuinely interesting in this very readable book that is
both comprehensive and totally inspiring."
--Sylvia Boorstein, author of That's Funny You Don't Look Like a
Buddhist and It's Easier Than You Think: The Buddhist Way to
Happiness "Amy Weintraub's work is some of the most important in
our world today for helping humanity understand more deeply the
significance of the mind-body connection. Her insights are
inspirational for yoga teachers and all readers. Her in-depth
understanding of her subject is an important basis for personal, as
well as societal transformation."
--Rama Jyoti Vernon, Founder, American Yoga College "This is truly
a beautifully written encyclopedia of yoga for depression. It is
rare to find such a generous soul, willing to embrace all
approaches to yoga, unbiased and yet having intelligent discernment
and advice for those searching for help. Amy offers many guidelines
and solutions through yoga, to both those who suffer from
depression and to yoga teachers working with them."
--Angela Farmer, internationally-known master yoga teacher
