1. The Active Woman's Health and Fitness Handbook, by Nadya Swedan, from Perigee Trade
This comprehensive guide addresses women's concerns
about the physical and psychological aspects of
fitness-no matter what age or activity level. Written by
a female athlete and doctor, it answers questions in
many areas-from what health risks are associated with
each sport or exercise, to what to do when your knee
hurts after a jog, to what you can do to prevent
osteoporosis. Nadya Swedan, M.D., is a Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation Specialist who provides non-surgical
treatment of sports-related and musculoskeletal pain and
injuries, especially in women.
2. The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health : A Lifelong
Guide to Wellness, by Judith Hanson Lasater, Linda
Sparrowe, Patricia Walden, Paperback, Publisher:
Shambhala
This book is a comprehensive book about women’s health
issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors
offer a complete yoga program for general health as well
as pose sequences that address specific health
problems–all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets
health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example,
in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has
organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear
instructions that tell how to get into each pose and
describe its benefits: chapter one is the Essential
Sequence for all women, and includes modifications for
people who cannot or should not do all the poses;
chapter two is the Restorative Sequence for stress
relief and relaxation; chapter three contains advanced
poses that energize and tone. The second part is
presented in four sections that broadly represent the
stages of a woman’s life: teen years and early twenties,
later twenties and thirties, midlife, and wisdom years.
Each section contains chapters offering specific
information about a particular health issue from author
Linda Sparrowe, as well as sequences of yoga poses from
Patricia Walden that address the problem.
