The Therapeutic Yoga Kit: Sixteen Postures for Self-Healing through Quiet Yin Awareness

Having recently discovered therapeutic or restorative yoga, this is a very good introduction. Simple, with key postures, suggestions for adaptation and the cards with real people doing the postures are very helpful. I think you need to have a teacher, ideally, but this is very good home kit, which does excatly what it says on the box. I haven't listened to the CD, I must confess.

Very good

Cheri and Biff have put together a book that shows you a myriad different ways to lie down, using a ridiculous number of bolsters, blankets, chairs, cushions and straps. But arranging seven different blankets under your knees, wrists, back and neck while holding a book or even one of their 16 colour cards is something of a conundrum. They claim to include a cd - which presumably explains what to do as you lie surrounded by soft furnishings. In fact they say it includes a 75 minute guided routine and meditation. But in actuality it includes no such thing - search as I might, there is no cd. My enquiry via Amazon elicited no response. So only buy this incomplete 'kit' if you have a passion for stacking blankets and cushions.

It is exactly what it says. Therapeutic and gives many helpful poses for people who need useful information. Personally I don't use props so I wouldn't be using it for my personal practice.

Great little kit. Very useful for classes.

I enjoy the kit, The flashcards come in very handy. as a former student this is a great way to have the most essential information always at hand, wherever you teach

Precis et concis

I purchased this kit after registering for Cheri Clampett and Arturo Peal's Therapeutic Yoga Certification training. I am a nurse and an acupuncturist with 20 years of practice experience, currently working in a hospital. This kit was an excellent reference for the very well organized, interesting, and educational training. Since my intention is to implement this practice in the clinic setting, the cards will be a good quick reference. I can scan a chart and choose the cards before the visit and curate an individualized session for each patient. I have some personal experience with yoga and was concerned about how to safely bring it to pain patients. The use of tools to support the poses will be great for patient safety. Also, we get a manual with the training, but the book will travel easier and has additional information such as adaptations for pregnant clients. There is also an excellent comparative chart combining the language of yoga/Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. I have not listened to the CD (no working player right now) but the book and cards are well worth the purchase. Thank you, Cheri, for creating such an accessible program and resource.

It's often really hard to find quiet relaxation time at crazy times which is why I bought this amazing yoga kit. The book gives really detailed instructions on entering and exiting the poses as well as great pictures to help visualize what the pose is supposed to look like. No yoga experience is necessary. Contraindications and benefits are also provided making it easier to determine if the pose is appropriate for you. It comes with a set of cards that I take when I travel and a CD. It makes a really great unique gift.
