Overcoming Chronic Pain Through Yoga
This book is for those who are ready and motivated to overcome chronic pain on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
After spending almost 30 years in daily debilitating chronic pain, Qat Wanders was finally able to heal using a specific process that she developed over the course of a decade.
The sad thing is, this is a familiar story for many people. For those of us who suffer from an “invisible illness,” we spend all of our time trying to function normally in society.
We read all of these books out there that claim that we can heal ourselves, but no matter how hard we try, we are still in pain. It doesn't seem like anything is working for us individually, and we can't figure out why.
Maybe you have read other books—especially in the health and wellness industry—that make you feel like you're doing everything wrong. You know how this goes: You haven't been on a gluten-free diet like you know you should be, or you're getting too much heavy metal poisoning because you're using the wrong cookware, or maybe you're not spending enough money on the right type of water!
We already know that there are a lot of toxins out there, bombarding us all the time, and that can be really discouraging and overwhelming.
Maybe we feel guilty, inadequate, or useless because we are in pain.
We feel weak and hopeless if we have to take painkillers for it.
We feel like a burden on our friends and family. And what's worse—sometimes they look at us as a burden on them as well.
All because we are dealing with pain in our lives that we don't feel like anyone else understands.
All we can think about when the pain is there is just how much pain we're in, and if it's EVER going to stop.
The goal of this book is not to make you feel guilty, or inadequate, or like you're doing something wrong. The goal is to give you hope, support, and OPTIONS for things that will actually help you get BETTER!
Our bodies really can heal.
You CAN get past this!
The processes that Qat shares in this book actually work, because they are tailored to fit your individual needs. All it takes is motivation to make the necessary changes which are unique to you and your body.
This book isn't just about doing Yoga postures to make your backache go away.
This book will help you reassess your life and your body, as well as your mental and spiritual state; to help you truly overcome chronic pain once and for all!
If we really want to get better, we have to heal from the inside out. Many of these natural healing methods that we read about haven't worked for us yet because our bodies are too toxic to handle them. Anyone suffering from chronic pain has a lot going on internally that needs to be addressed before healing can take place.
The contents of this book will show you how to shift your mental state to allow yourself to heal. Then it goes into the internal cleansing process which is absolutely crucial to train the body to accept natural healing methods.
From there, you will learn to maintain this state of balance and internal homeostasis to overcome chronic pain on all levels.
You will learn the reconditioning techniques that reprogram the body, mind, and Spirit by giving you the tools you need to:
~Practice the Mindful Movement Techniques™ which trigger the body's pain responses in a way that can help overcome chronic pain quickly and effectively.
~Learn the key lifestyle adjustments you have likely not even thought of, that have proven effective for literally everyone who tried them.
~See immediate results in how you begin to look at your situation and your ability to handle pain with an even mind.
~Level up from the physical aspects of chronic pain and stop allowing it to affect your everyday life negatively.
So if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and you are ready to take the next BIG STEP to take back control of your life and reclaim your health…this book is for YOU!

"Overcoming Chronic Pain Through Yoga" is an inspirational book about Overcoming Chronic Pain Through Yoga is about healing chronic pain from the inside out. The author shares the trials, tribulations, and lessons she learned from overcoming her chronic pain. Although, there is an active “yoga” content to this book that is by no means the whole of the healing processes shared. The author imparts that yoga encompasses much more than the physical practice. There is also the practice of Ayurvedic mindfulness, whole body healing, the importance of gut health-where illness and pain stem from and many more insights. There is a wealth of viable information shared in an easy to understand conversational style that helps the reader believe that remission or complete healing from chronic pain can be a reality.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK IN OVERCOMING CHRONIC PAIN!!!
This book is a treasure to keep. One should have this book as it offers excellent, practical and doable tips in overcoming chronic pain. This is not just about the yoga that everyone knows: spandex and headstands. It is way much better than this. What makes this book a more interesting read is how the author shared her own chronic pain experiences, how she dealt with it, what she learned and discovered, what worked and did not work in eradicating her pain, and then generously, and lovingly provided tips that can effectively help people. I love the sections about the tips on Mindfulness and the Shifting Mindset just to name a few. These should be the foundation of all healing modalities. Be healed and get this book now!

Well-written and heartfelt!
Qat Wanders is an amazing woman who has tweaked her life over decades to find relief from several debilitating conditions. She shares a ton of her research and the processes she uses to stay healthy. I really enjoyed her writing style and the generosity of spirit that permeates the book.
If you are skeptical about Eastern medicine and alternative therapies, you will not enjoy this book. Qat shares a lot of processes that are not part of mainstream Western medicine.
If you are open-minded and looking for alternative therapies to cope with chronic inflammation and pain, this book will change your life.

Great book to read! My wife always has continuously back pain throughout the day and she tried many techniques but nothing seems to relieve the pain consistently. I bought this book hoping to get some alternative options to help her relive her body pain. So far I'm liking the book. You need to treat your body like a temple. The author covers various topics, from mindfulness exercises to eating a healthy diet that helps nourishes your body. Highly recommend!

Wow! Love it!
Not your typical yoga book. This book is filled with so much information on chronic pain. I work in the medical field, so I’ve seen some of this before. However, the author teaches it in a way that it sticks and keeps it interesting. There is so much information in this book. It is a medical must have! I highly recommend it.

There is a lot to address here. I came across Wanders‘s first book awhile back and loved it so much I decided to read more. This one stood out to me because I’ve been a chronic pain sufferer off and on for most of my life. I loved her out-of-the-box thinking in her other book, Moving Beyond Slut shaming. This one isn’t quite as quirky as the other book, but it’s so packed full of helpful information I don’t even know where to start.
I will definitely be ordering a print copy and keeping it on my shelf. The meditations she includes are remarkably potent, as well as the different pain-relief techniques she invented herself when she was previously working with chronic pain sufferers like myself. What I find particularly interesting is that this book is the embodiment of all her knowledge put onto print pages. She isn’t selling coaching or anything of the sort, in fact, she doesn’t even do that anymore, but still wanted to share her knowledge, so instead she made this book. Fantastic choice, and I’m so glad she did.
And for everyone complaining that there are no pictures of the “yoga poses“ or that everything in here is “just bogus“ is obviously not open minded, and in fact so narrow minded that they think yoga consists of stretch pants and doing the splits, that they missed her entire message. Her whole point is that that’s NOT what yoga is about. And her book isn’t just about Ayurveda either.
Ayurveda is mentioned several times throughout because it is the sister science of yoga, so obviously it needs to be mentioned in a book about healing chronic pain because it was such a huge part of her journey.
Anyway, I’m so glad the author put this book into the world because I really believe it has the power to change lives, and just as she changed her own, that makes her even more of an expert because she’s been through what we have.
I would give this book 10 stars if I could.

A very light basic overview of the principles of yoga (near the end) with the authors bio included with everything she had done wrong for herself in treating her chronic pain over the decades, including her new "program" (which was only like 5% of the book) which is a whole lot of wrong and problematic too. Not worth the read.
