Very valuable information, along with many useful tips for teaching yoga to those suffering through pain. I most appreciated Marnie Hartman’s personal examples and experiences, along with the actual yoga session and final interview with Tiffany Cruikshank.

Fantastic introduction to the implications of recent developments in pain science to yoga teaching. Marnie presents the information so clearly, with the prefect blend of background information and practical examples. Highly recommended for any teacher working with students experiencing persistent pain, or for anyone experiencing it.
