About Yoga On Prescription
Review In Yoga on Prescription, Paul Fox and Heather Mason provide a timely response to the mental and physical health consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. In their readable book they outline a succinct yoga intervention program that may profoundly benefit those whose health has been disrupted by the pandemic. The book provides the public health justification for their intervention, which can be efficiently implemented on the chair or the mat, as well as a plausible explanation of how yoga would enhance health. As society recovers from the pandemic, as the high percentage of survivors have persistent symptoms, we are witnessing the limitations of medical care in dealing with chronic disease. Post pandemic medical care by necessity will need to shift from the treatment of a pathogen defined disease to treatment of the chronic disorders associated with being infected. Covid long haul symptoms, like other chronic ailments, reflect a body in a chronic state of defence. Fortunately, the medical community is beginning to acknowledge the effectiveness of yoga and other strategies that incorporate movement and social connection as portals of treatment.--Dr Stephen Porges, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and author of the Polyvagal Theory The regular practice of yoga can be fundamental in building strong foundations, where each of us can learn to take more accountability and ownership of our health. There has never been a more important time for this with the current relentless pressures our healthcare systems are facing, particularly since the start of the global COVID pandemic. Yoga4Health, through Paul and Heather's innovation and passion, is at the forefront of bringing yoga and its wide range of benefits, safely into our healthcare systems on prescription. This evidence-based protocol targets not only prevention, but also treatment of chronic disease, while working in conjunction with modern medicine.--Dr Avi Sharma, GP, Kilmarnock This book is written by experts, Heather Mason and Paul Fox, who developed a program Yoga4Health used for social prescribing for a variety of health conditions. This book is meant to be used for training of yoga and healthcare professionals who administer yoga-based interventions to patients. The book provides an excellent overview of the history of yoga practices and applications to health, as well as the recent scientific advances explaining modern understanding of the underlying mechanisms, by which yoga can improve physical and mental health. In addition, the book introduces contributions of major figures in the world of integrative medicine, their role in developing the field of yoga therapy, and their conceptualizations of the health benefits of yoga practices. This book can be used as a useful tool for teaching to appreciate the therapeutic benefits of yoga and training of healthcare practitioners and students, who want to integrate yoga therapy into their clinical practices. It might be also useful for policymakers who are interested in social prescribing and integration of yoga therapies in the healthcare for management of stress- and aging-related disorders.--Dr Helen Lavretsky, Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA This detailed (but at the same time eminently-readable) book is a trailblazer that describes the rapidly-developing acceptance of the use of appropriate yoga in the management of common lifestyle conditions. Such yoga-based therapy is becoming more commonly available in the NHS through a combination of post-graduate healthcare training and GP prescribing. Heather Mason and Paul Fox have combined their respective skills - the long-term advocacy of lifestyle medicine and extensive experience of yoga practice and training provision - to produce a work that will hold the attention of readers. Paul Fox's combination of years as a high-level journalist as well as yoga teacher have resulted in the book having an easy-to-read style, despite it including significa
