Do you want to have more energy, or reduce pain and stiffness in your body, even if you can't get down to a yoga mat? A shortcut to a better quality of life in just 15 to 20 minutes of gentle movement a day.

The yoga poses in this book are simple and easy to repeat. We have included modifications of many well-known poses so they can be tailored to suit your needs. People with arthritis, osteoporosis or other conditions worry that exercise will make things worse for them, resulting in more pain.

The truth is that the opposite is the case, and here are three scientific facts to support this:

1. Studies by the Harvard Medical School show that weekly yoga classes often help with chronic back pain more than the standard treatment.

2. According to The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, exercise improves 'wear and tear' conditions such as osteoarthritis by an impressive 22-83%!

3. Yoga has been proven to improve bone density even in older adults - therefore, better start late than never.

What else will you discover in this book?

- Step-by-step instructions for poses that improve posture, strength, flexibility and balance - even if you struggle to weight bear on your hands or feet;

- A variety of modifications to traditional yoga poses that can be performed from the comfort of your own home,

no matter your age, ability or limitations;

- The simplest, most effective way to introduce a new habit into your life and make long-lasting changes to your health and well-being;

- Simple steps you can take to counteract the dangerous effects of a sedentary lifestyle even whilst you're sitting down & without fancy equipment;

These poses are so easy to follow that you are guaranteed to succeed, even if you have never exercised before.

I introduced my mother to yoga when she was in her fifties-28 years ago. You'd never believe she's 78-she's spritely, energetic and full of life. Like anyone her age, she has aches and pains but when I see the impact yoga has had on her life, I'm confident about the benefits it can bring to the lives of others.

If my mam could do it, so can you.
