New Book! The Basis of Therapeutic Exercises

11/19/2020

Therapeutic exercises are simple movements of the body that take the major joints and muscles through their functional range of motion. They are not fancy or particularly beautiful to look at, but they are quite useful to keep the body strong, mobile and painless.

These exercises are the basis for the yoga method taught at Ghosh's Yoga College in Kolkata, India. They are central to the goal of building and sustaining health. 

Because modern life is full of imbalances — lots of sitting, hunching and looking at screens — our bodies and minds get out of whack pretty often. We get tight hips, tight lower backs, achy necks, tight shoulders, etc. Most often, these tight achy areas are directly linked to an imbalance in a major joint. On the opposite side of the tightness is weakness.

We use these Therapeutic Exercises as precisely as we can to target the issues in the body. Some exercises are good for balancing the lower spine — like the Torso Lift and Leg Lift — while others are good for balancing the upper spine — like Cobra and Full Locust. Still other exercises are useful for balancing the hip — like Squatting and Hip Hinge — or the shoulders — like Butterfly or Chest Expansion.

After years of consideration and discussion with the Ghosh family, we are finally releasing a book that contains more than 40 Therapeutic Exercises. We try to explain the use of each exercise as precisely as possible, both what it does in the body and what imbalances it is good for. 

At the end of the book are a handful of practice sequences. You may know that 'sequences' are unusual in therapeutic yoga, as each person is different and gets a unique prescription. But we have identified a few of the most common issues and imbalances and provided sets of exercises to target them.

We truly hope that this book will be useful to you, whether you are a beginning student, have an injury, are a yoga teacher, a yoga therapist or a historian of this method. 

The book is available for preorder here. It will ship on December 7.

Hi - really enjoy and appreciate this book and the others! I know they will be lifelong resources for me.

I wanted to ask a quick question about how to incorporate TE into my normal practice? Sorry if it has been answered somewhere else.

I have been doing about 60 minutes of regular practice in the mornings but could find another 15 or 30 minutes to add in the TE. Is it better to do them before or after practice, or even do them at another time of the day? Or does it not matter much.

Thanks!

Hi SN,
You can practice TE at any time. They are simple for the body so they do not require a lot of structure. They would be great to do before your 60 min practice. You could also do them throughout the day as a break from other activities.
