Based on Yoga Science

12 Lessons
This seminal book on the subject of mind-body medicine is designed into 12 lessons that have been compiled from the teachings of Susan Taylor, PhD.  Lessons includes three sections: a theme that discusses scientific matters; a path of practice that offers a journal activity to record inner feelings and thoughts on specific subjects, followed by core practices to support the given topic; and a review section that provides a summary of the facts and obstacles that need to be addressed in order to become a more informed, self-aware person.

Topics include:

1. Digestive function
2. Brain nutrients
3. Diet and nutrition

5. Meditation
