Turn Stress Into Bliss

Book excerpt: Recently, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, a well-respected certifying yoga school and organization, created a program to help people reduce stress. The findings have been spectacular-the eight-week program has helped students find a 55% reduction in stress-related symptoms (mostly of a physical nature, such as upset stomach, headache, etc.). These findings have already been reported in Yoga Journal. Turn Stress Into Bliss is an at-home version of this proven program. The book includes a description of the course and its results, why it works, and then a complete eight-week program, including meditations, asanas, and lifestyle changes that readers can do on their own.
