Although many practitioners attend yoga classes to relieve tension in their bodies, they frequently grit their teeth through challenging postures, so this book will surely bring a smile to their lips and relief to their heads with the wise approach it takes to using yoga and meditation to relieve TMJ. The book is well-organized and carefully illustrated, from its initial overview of TMJ and other forms of jaw tension, with illuminating details that remind readers all their physical systems work in an integrated way (spoiler: tense hips and feet impact the jaw!) through its clear explanation of how to start yoga and mindfulness practices for relief. The author’s deep knowledge gained through teaching yoga and practicing craniosacral massage comes through on every page, and she is careful in balancing her recommendations of alternative healing with conventional modalities (another spoiler: go to the dentist).

A groundbreaking, integrative approach to debilitating jaw dysfunction
Cator Shachoy delivers exactly what chronic pain sufferers need: a comprehensive mind body program addressing TMJ's physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions. The handbook explains anatomy and physiology of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, unpacking causes from injury and stress to emotional trauma, grief, rage, and hormonal imbalances.
What distinguishes this from standard medical guides is Shachoy's unique therapeutic synthesis. Yoga, massage, meditation, and craniosacral therapy combine in more than thirty instructional movements with eleven audio downloads, creating accessible self treatment program. The fully illustrated guide covers jaw anatomy, headaches, conscious healing touch, self massage, and yoga poses with sequences. Patient stories inspire while empowering readers with knowledge and skills for self help. With 35 ratings and 6 reviews indicating early engagement since August 2024 publication, this work demonstrates the power of addressing misunderstood chronic pain through integrative methods. For readers seeking "The Body Keeps the Score" with more specific application or "Yoga for Pain Relief" with more anatomical precision, this offers essential companion. A therapeutic guide that trusts patients with complexity and tools for healing.

I thought this book outstanding. An excellent and thoughtful review of a very important topic that can be overlooked among the many 'self help' concepts. These is so much to this book..It is comprehensive and detailed..also excellent and expert illustrations which really enhance the text. If it sometimes seems to be too much detail..in reflection it is all needed. The book also serves as an excellent resource over time..to re-read and gain further understanding and then as a valuable 'point look up'! Mollie

This book greatly aided my understanding of jaw tension causes. Thanks to detailed descriptions and illustrations I was able to immediately incorporate jaw tension-relieving yoga and mindfulness into my day.

Interesting. Mostly medical advice and stories from others. It’s not till the end that it’s even yoga related, and it many of them are things I already do for stretching. Some see helpful and wrote notes for, but otherwise reads more liked a medical textbook than anything else.
