Cyndi’s clear instruction and detailed photos offer everyone the opportunity to experience safe techniques for the relief of chronic low back pain. As a physical therapist, I can truly endorse this book knowing there are modifications throughout for all. I have utilized this book as a teaching tool for some patients and have heard much positive feedback.

A note to other readers: If you are having trouble with how to get started, be sure to read the first 24 pages, and start with what step 1 is for you. (The author’s personal story at the back of the book is worth reading.) I purchased this book for chronic low-back and sciatic pain, and was practicing, but now I also have a hip injury, and I thank God I have this book. I love that she gives choices on different levels of position and stretch for each pose, using props in different ways for what is best for you. Sometimes you have to read the instructions for an exercise, then practice, then re-read the instructions, and go through this a few times before getting the rhythm of breath and movement or getting in and out of a pose, then ending with a final release–a very important aspect. Each picture in this book is worth a thousand words. Cyndi’s exquisitely detailed instructions and well thought-out presentation has made me fall in love with Yoga. I am 70. I’ve never taken a Yoga class.

We are loving the much needed surrender found in Cyndi Roberts’ book Yoga For Low Back and Hip Health. Each page has us wanting to pull out a bolster and sink in.

I have been a client of Mrs. Roberts for a couple years now. The reason I keep going back is twofold: she is a very compassionate, honest, and genuine individual who truly cares for people and their health and; the treatments she outlines in her book really do help. I suffer from Sciatica and Spinal Stenosis so my back is very tender. But each 60-minute session I’ve had with Mrs. Roberts has never failed to relieve my back discomfort. Word to the wise: practice what she demonstrates in this book each day; you will see incredible results. The other wonderful aspect of this book is that there is a variety of sequences you can practice so it is not a mundane, day-to-day, monotonous routine. You can switch things up and STILL feel better after. I highly recommend Mrs. Roberts’ book and teachings. You will NOT be disappointed.

Yoga for Low Back and Hip Health review - Claire Fazzina - Tolland, CT
5 / 5

When I met Cyndi Roberts a few years ago, I had constant hip and back pain that prevented me from being as active as I once was. Regular restorative yoga sessions with Cyndi helped ease my pain and taught me breathing, stretching, and relaxation exercises that I could practice on my own. Cyndi’s new book, Yoga for Low Back and Hip Health illustrates and explains the exercises she taught me and more! Now, instead of trying to remember a sequence of poses and stretches that were effective for me, I can refer to Cyndi’s book for guidance.

I especially like the illustrated sequences that I choose based on what I feel I need help with and how much time I can spare on a given day. Each sequence is labeled according to the targeted issue—hip pain, core strength, etc. and whether it is a short or long sequence. Sometimes I create my own sequence using the chapters that clearly describe and illustrate restorative or core strengthening poses.

Having Cyndi’s book is like having 24/7 access to Cyndi’s expertise and wisdom!

I started referencing and practicing the sequences in Yoga For Low Back and Hip Health before bed time. After as little as two practices, I noticed I slept better, woke up with less aches and pains and had more energy! I’m feeling better and better each day!

Suffering with disc problems, the only exercise I’ve tried so far is the one on the front cover, lying on your side with a leg on a pillow and your arm on a pillow, sounds so simple, but I never realized until I tried it, how much pressure it relieves in the tightness of my hips and lower back!
