Her detailed knowledge of diabetes, from both a technical and an experiential standpoint, shines clearly throughout her book. In addition, her knowledge of the perspective and methods of Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda, and how they can be adapted and applied for individuals with this condition makes this an extraordinary manual for both individuals with various forms of diabetes and their therapists alike.
