Sam Dworkis tells us how to "successfully do yoga ... not try to do yoga"

I am very happy to have found Sam Dworkis' website. In the past I have relied upon his book Recovery Yoga for tips for those, myself included, who may need to approach yoga slowly and carefully either as the result of injury, illness or a chronic condition. In his new web book The Mechanics of Yoga Mr. Dworkis explains how doing less correctly gets you more. So if you have ever been discouraged or afraid of injury take heart. Sam Dworkis can guide you along the path of yoga. Sam asserts "that you can substantially enhance your flexibility, strength, and endurance without trying hard. In fact, I'm fond of saying that you can become more flexible, stronger, and create enhanced endurance by hardly trying." These techniques are not aggressive and do not add additional stress to the body the mind or the spirit. As we move in yoga we can really benefit from the wisdom Sam has gained. He has some wonderful words for those who suffer chronic pain.
