Healing Yoga with Dr. med. Peter Konopka

Yoga heals. This is proven by international studies and medical research. Yoga instead of antibiotics, meditative exercises instead of beta blockers, breathing against asthma: yoga as a therapy is highly effective. Simple exercises have a gentle effect on body, mind and soul. Dr. med. Peter Konopka - internist and sports physician with 40 years of yoga experience - has selected asanas for his book "Heil-Yoga" (BLV Buchverlag) that have proven themselves over decades. They are easy to perform, can be combined individually and have a targeted effect on the most common complaints - without any side effects.

First, Konopka, a medical doctor and yoga teacher, explains the basics and philosophy of yoga. He shows the most proven relaxation exercises, explains correct breathing and gives tips on meditation and nutrition. The exercises in the book range from gentle asanas to open the body, strengthening exercise sequences with affirmations to aasanas for every day. The book is structured according to the various ailments such as burnout syndrome, depression, exhaustion, heart problems and high blood pressure, and provides the right training programme for each condition. Peter Konopka also finds the right exercise with a holistic healing effect for headaches, back pain, insomnia, stress, digestive complaints, menopausal problems and much more.
