As a both certified mindfulness meditation and yoga instructor, I found Dr. Mary Duryea's book a very enlightening offering combining longtime Eastern yoga practice and philosophy, with the infusion of modern Western medicine diagnosis and treatment. Her terminology and descriptions are very accessible, and I recommend this book for yoga and meditation teachers, medical practitioners, as well as students that want to understand how both ancient traditions and modern medicine are connected, and can work together in helping many medical conditions. - Shane Ledford, CMT-200, CYT-200 Yoga, an ancient practice dating back over 5,000 years, has skyrocketed in popularity during recent decades in the Western world. However, what has been missing until now is an informed connection between yoga and modern medicine. In her book, Dr. Mary Duryea, a longtime yoga teacher and primary care physician, skillfully synthesizes basic tenets of modern medicine and the practice of yoga. This book is a factual but entertaining eye opener for yoga practitioners and the medical profession, both of whom have much to learn from each other. - Sheila Honig, English Instructor--University of Missouri-Kansas City Mystic mantras and modern medicine come together in this practical book to create a powerful guide to living a healthy life. Dr. Mary Duryea communicated her ideas clearly and made complex concepts simple, even for a lay reader like myself. The blend of the two disciplines is intriguing, and the book is a valuable tool for my personal journey toward integrated health. - Constance Ward, Former International Journalist and Corporate Spokesperson
