"Yoga Bones is a knowledgeable and insightful guide for anyone interested in the interface of Western medicine and Eastern yoga practices, and how they combine to treat many physical conditions and create holistic well-being. Staton's experience as both an occupational therapist and a yoga therapist comes together in a treasure trove of accessible and helpful guidance.

“This book is clear and informative; its author is anatomically sophisticated, and has crucial knowledge of how changes in anatomy translate into functional problems. With equal clarity she sketches out how to take care of these problems."
