Time to Repair

How yoga can restore body and mind in 5 minutes a day

About this book

When recovering from surgery and/or aggressive medical treatments we may need help with healing over and above rest and a good diet. Vicky Fox's expertise in yoga for those with cancer diagnosis has given her practical understanding of how yoga can promote healing in the gentlest yet most fundamental ways but that patients are often held back by perceived lack of time to learn new skills and put them into practice. In this practical, illustrated guide to developing a yoga practice that supports healing, 5 minutes at a time, Vicky shows how to help the body restore balance, optimising the natural potential to repair following adverse events. Yoga is about becoming more flexible physically and psychologically/emotionally. The book builds on findings that it can help with insomnia, anxiety, bone density, inflammation, immunity, strength, balance and overall wellbeing – provided we can find the time.
