Approaching diabetes from a multidimensional perspective, Evan Soroka links the practices and philosophy of yoga with science and lived experience. In this book, she addresses the major challenges of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, providing descriptive practices including spinal movements, breathing techniques and meditation.
By giving yoga therapists and yoga teachers the tools to encourage a positive mindset in the person with diabetes and therefore putting them in charge of their own health, this manual helps to identify what might be out of balance and how to restore it.
