http://www.suzafrancina.com/temp/ en Copyright 2007 Tue, 20 Feb 2007 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Dear Yoga Students, I recently completed my fourth book on yoga for older people - myself included! As you may know, my interest in yoga began many years ago while I was a home health-care provider for convalescents and the elderly. I have taught yoga since 1972 and there are now in print over 100,000 copies of my books on yoga for people at midlife and older. BKS Iyengar wrote the Foreword to my second book, The New Yoga for People Over 50. These books are available in several languages, including English, German, Russian and Portuguese and are recommended as resources by teachers around the world. http://www.suzafrancina.com/temp/letter_from_suza.shtml http://www.suzafrancina.com/temp/letter_from_suza.shtml Yoga Practice Tue, 20 Feb 2007 22:24:52 -0800 Photos by Ruth Miller from Suza's book, Yoga and the Wisdom of Menopause.]]> http://www.suzafrancina.com/temp/yoga_for_menopause.shtml http://www.suzafrancina.com/temp/yoga_for_menopause.shtml Yoga Practice Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:28:46 -0800 Suza Francina is the author of The New Yoga for Healthy Aging: Living Longer, Living Stronger and Loving Every Day (Health Communications, Inc. 2007), Yoga and the Wisdom of Menopause: A Guide to Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health at Midlife and Beyond (HCI, 2003) and The New Yoga for People Over 50: A Comprehensive Guide for Midlife and Older Beginners (HCI, 1997) .
