Story
When we talk about movement, most of us think "exercise." But the way we move our bodies—how we walk, roll, dance, stretch, connect, and take up space—is about so much more than physical fitness. Our movements impact our mental and emotional health . . . and when we change the way we move, we can change the way we live. Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance and movement therapist Erica Hornthal takes listeners on a step-by-step journey with a guide that is inclusive, non-prescriptive, and helps us discover the kind of movement that works best for us.

Story
Most of us are born with the ability to breathe freely and naturally, but as the years go by, our breathing becomes labored—compromised by fear, disappointment, trauma, and pollutants. So we contract our breathing body and create ways that feel protective of our vulnerable selves but actually constrict the oxygen intake and thus the nourishment our body receives. In The Breathable Body, Robert Litman shares the insights and practices he has discovered during more than 30 years of professional experience in conscious breathing and movement.

Story
Many antidepressants - the first line in our standard of care for treating depression - bring with them potential health risks, yet one in six Americans takes medication to alleviate feeling sad, anxious, stuck, or unable to focus or sleep. More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life's challenges - like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship - telling us that they're symptoms of disease.

Critic Reviews
“I am a physical therapist in an orthopedic setting with Pilates instructors and think this book would be an amazing asset for anyone that wants to know how to serve their clients best, without being intimidated by their diagnosis. This book makes it easy to understand common pathologies, gives practical applications for different movement styles, and also gives exercise program suggestions to apply right away. I wish it was around earlier in my own training.”—Funmilayo Hill, doctor of physical therapy
“...a precise roadmap to individualized rehabilitation that will minimize the chance of aggravation of existing spinal and related issues and promote strength, flexibility, balance, and pain reduction for better functional status and quality of life. Ms. Miller dives deep into common spinal conditions such as scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis, and stenosis, as well as sacroiliac joint and hip issues. Safe Movement for All Spines is a tremendous contribution to the fields of physical rehabilitation and fitness. I recommend it highly for anyone who works with people with back and hip conditions.”—Gail M. Dubinsky, MD, orthopedic medicine physician and certified yoga instructor
“...a well-researched tool that will benefit professionals and laypersons alike. Meant to educate and empower individuals, the emphasis is to teach and experience safe movement while working with spinal conditions. Exercises specific to yoga, Pilates, and general conditioning are included, as well as contraindications for each. Many excellent references are included for further study. I highly recommend this for those interested in improving spinal health!”—Shelley Mogel, MA, exercise physiologist
