Yoga for Bendy People - by Libby Hinsley (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Yoga for Bendy People was written for yoga teachers and practitioners who want a deeper understanding of hypermobility syndromes and how to optimize the benefits of yoga for people who have them.

A well-designed yoga practice not only avoids injury, but leaves the body better supported, the nervous system better regulated, the mind clearer, and the heart more connected to its purpose.

Author Libby Hinsley is a long-time yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and physical therapist. As a person living with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, she is passionate about raising awareness about hypermobility in the yoga community and beyond. She has experienced the chronic pain, joint instability, and yoga-related injuries so common among bendy practitioners.

In this book, she offers guidance on how to develop a sustainable yoga practice tailored to the unique needs of bendy practitioners - body, mind, and spirit.

Readers will:

• Learn about the latest hypermobility research and most common syndromes
• Discover how to avoid the common injuries bendy people face in yoga practice
• Understand how asana, pranayama, meditation, and more, can support bendy people
