Foreword by Dr. Dean Ornish
A Landmark Contribution to Clinical Yoga Therapy
Dr. Dean Ornish, Founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute and renowned pioneer in lifestyle medicine, praises Yoga for Cardiovascular Disease and Rehabilitation:
“Dr. Basu-Ray’s book, a collaborative effort of 40 leading researchers and clinicians, provides a wealth of information on clinical yoga therapy. With clinically oriented chapters and detailed guidelines, it empowers healthcare professionals to integrate yoga into daily practice for prevention and treatment of various diseases.
This monumental work inspires clinicians to adopt yoga therapy as a cost-effective and medically effective tool for cardiovascular health.”
