Such a great reference, and a quick, direct, straightforward approach. I threw my back out this week and recovered quickly with some AYAMA methods from this book. Recommended for anyone with back, knee, or shoulder pain who would like to shed the pain.

Interesting read, but after my initial excitement about the author's ideas, more doubts came up. My take from this book is not to completely abandon passive stretching but make muscle strengthening an integral part of yoga practice.

Yogi Aaron is a sage
Yogi Aaron’s newest book provides the science behind pain from passive stretching through the lens of anatomy. Then he steps through how we can activate our muscles for strength and stability, leading to a pain-free existence. I can’t wait to implement all I’ve learned for myself and with my yoga students!
