Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Yoga Practice

I really like this book. It is jam packed with helpful information.I have taken a few yoga classes over the years and I am familiar with Donna Eden's energy medicine techniques through reading her books. I enjoy doing yoga and feel that Donna's work is very valuable and worthwhile. To be sure, I am far from proficient at either discipline, but using my limited experience I managed to figure out what Lauren was trying to teach...I think. Without some experience in both disciplines I believe this book would be very confusing, but that is not the authors fault. She does an admirable job of trying to tell her story in a comprehensible way.If you enjoy yoga and are familiar with Donna Eden's work then I believe you will enjoy reading this book and find it well worth the money. Actually committing to the program without a scheduled class is another story. I believe most people will find that difficult. I hope to be more consistent with it someday because I truly believe Lauren is on to something here and I am grateful to her for writing this book.In summary, I think this book is a wonderful resource and I am glad I bought it, but it is not for everyone. The exercises can be challenging, but, I believe, also worthwhile. I especially like her "most bang for your buck" power poses and feel that this book also has plenty of "bang for your buck."

Energy medicine and Yoga are both complex healing arts. People often devote years to either one. In her book, Lauren shares she has devoted years to studying and using both of them, blending them together in 8 week course, She transcribed the 8 week course in this book, as gift for people who cannot attend her classes. . There is plenty of free info online for anyone who is not familiar with the yoga postures or language. And she recommends classes for those who are absolute yoga newcomers. I've just started this book and already have learned so much. basic tips to make it a way of life. Thank you Lauren for taking the time and energy to produce this book. and for including the depth of yoga that you teach in your 8 week course.

Our fitness center offered a Energy Medicine Yoga class - taught by Lauren Walker. Before this class I knew very little about Energy Medicine. After the first evening was over I knew, that this was something very special and it kept being special to the very end. A lot has changed for me to the better since I do my daily practices - physically and emotionally. Lauren's book is structured like the 8 week yoga class. For people who are not able to be in the classroom with her, can still learn all of it by reading her book and following the practice on their own. What a great combination this is: The benefits of Yoga amplified with the healing powers of Energy Medicine. Doesn't get better than this! Thanks Lauren!

A very powerful book. Combining energy with yoga in a format that is very understandable. It allows the yoga practitioner to use their power to send their energy to a specific area of the body needing healing. Lauren also describes how you can direct your energy as a general tuneup for the internal organs with and without a asana posture. Attended her workshop at Integral yoga andenjoyed having an opportunity to do a practice session. Good timing for this book release. Our healthcare system is promoting self care and maintaining a healthy body, mind and soul.Melodie Mellor

Good book! I would highly recommend it! In my view this would have been a great book if only it had more pictures. Ms. Walker is a skilled writer still pictures would have greatly enhanced the instructions tenfold. A lot of times I was so frustrated trying to figure out what she was saying I just stop reading. I'm not saying it need to be a comic book but with those exercises pictures would be preferable to a mostly written description.

Excellent book! If you're new to Yoga and/or Energy Healing, take Lauren's week-end workshop and you'll have a much greater understanding of the book. As a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner and Yoga teacher, I always want to learn more. I loved the workshop and the Energy Medicine Yoga book correlates perfectly! My Yoga students and healing clients can easily incorporate some new techniques to greatly improve their own health and well being.

I would agree with some of the other reviewers that this book needed a much better edit. I purchased the paperback version and found it very difficult to follow. I have been practising yoga for more than 15 years but was unclear about the descriptions of the postures and movements contained amongst the book’s pages. There were few pictures and their quality was poor. A video link eventually did follow and I found it was not at all how I had interpreted the sequence. I hope the newer version of the book is a good improvement over this edition as I found it difficult to judge whether the sequence, information and postures was appropriate for me.

Having practiced yoga for 15 years and recently become Reiki attuned I was ecstatic to learn a yoga teacher had weaved the amazing Donna Edens energy medicine into a yoga practice. The detail and content doesn't disappoint but the execution in terms of reader friendliness is appalling! Did no one edit this book? I'm a yoga teacher and someone who is sold on the idea of energy medicine but the long detailed wordy explanations of the postures with minimal images is damn right mind numbing and boring to try and decifer. As a book it needs many more images with simple bullet point instructions. It is crying out for a video.....of which I think is in the process but I'm annoyed I'll have to pull out more money because of the dreadful short comings of the book!

This book allows creative thinking about yoga and anything that does that is beneficial for well being. I already use such techniques within my yoga class, so it encourages this theme.

Would prefer to have bought the book, not easy to follow on Kindle
