Book Description

September 2004
Written specifically with seniors in mind, Shirley Lanoff’s "Gentler Yoga" is a concise, common-sense guide to the basic components of yogic practice: meditation, breathing and postures. This work, the culmination of more than forty years of yoga instruction, offers a relaxed approach that is suitable for all fitness levels.

Focusing on health and safety, "Gentler Yoga" recommends yogic elements that should be practiced regularly and warns of those that should be avoided. More than forty photographs are included to demonstrate clearly the movement, and all directions are simple enough to be followed by even the most inexperienced yoga practitioners. "Gentler Yoga" even features convenient guides on self-massage and yoga for travelers.

Scientific evidence has shown that regular yoga practice can lead to a healthier overall lifestyle. Incorporating G"entler Yoga’s" approach into a daily routine just may lead to a feeling of well-being as the mind, body and spirit flourish.

About the Author

Shirley Lanoff has been teaching yoga since 1965, and has watched her students age along with her. As a result, she felt compelled to write this guidebook designed especially for seniors. In addition to her yoga expertise, Lanoff leads a folk dance troupe that regularly performs for seniors and nursing home residents. The author of a previously published cookbook, Lanoff currently lives outside Chicago with her husband of fifty-three years.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unprofessional pictures, May 2, 2006
This review is from: Gentler Yoga: Meditation, Breathing and Postural Exercises for Seniors (Spiral-bound)
I am a yoga teacher who has purchased many yoga books over the years and this one is not very good. The black and white pictures are blurry and not professional quality. There are not enought safety cues either for a new student. Put your money elsewhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet effective book., March 20, 2007
This review is from: Gentler Yoga: Meditation, Breathing and Postural Exercises for Seniors (Spiral-bound)
Small book with good information on gentle yoga for older people. Written by someone with experience showing a slower, simple way to practice basic yoga postures. Photos show an actual senior doing the poses. Sometimes books are written for seniors or gentle yoga and still have a 20 year in a pretzel position. This is a very nice realistic book for someone who would like a simple practice. Spiral bound and easy to use. A nice editon for anyones yoga book library.
