Synopsis

Yoga is more than exercise — it is medicine in motion.

Yoga Poses for Common Health Conditions distills insights from more than 200 authoritative sources to show how the world’s leading yoga masters — from B.K.S. Iyengar to Pattabhi Jois — have used specific postures to support healing alongside modern medical care.

Harvard graduate and longtime yoga teacher Matt Hochstetler, together with world-class illustrator Sergio Stiven Montenegro, presents a comprehensive, fully illustrated reference guide organized by health condition. Inside, you’ll find carefully curated pose recommendations for concerns ranging from back pain, sciatica, and arthritis to anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, cardiovascular issues, and more.

This is not a book of medical prescriptions. It is a practical, visual resource designed to help you have informed conversations with your doctor, physical therapist, or yoga instructor — so you can build a personalized practice that supports your body’s natural healing intelligence.

Whether you are:

  • A yoga student seeking to take an active role in your health

  • A yoga teacher designing classes for students with specific conditions

  • A physical therapist exploring complementary movement tools

  • Or someone searching for a structured, condition-based yoga reference

This book offers one of the most comprehensive pictorial collections available on how yoga poses can support overall well-being.

Bring this guide to your healthcare team. Ask questions. Explore safely.
Use yoga not as performance — but as partnership in your healing journey.
