Reader Review
A TRUE SYNTHESIS, September 12, 2002
Reviewer: john d. daniels
(see more about me at Amazon.com)
from Reno, Nevada
It is not unusual for teachers of various bodywork
methods to incorporate something from other traditions.
For instance, when I was taught the Eight Brocade Way (Ba
Qua Jin), I was taught 9 postures. One of which was from
Yoga. Later my teacher introduced some Western exercises
to aid in working around physical problems.
Michael Reed Gach has achieved a synthesis from two
paths, Acupressure(Chinese health system based on the
flow of energy (Chi) through channels and meridians) and
Yoga postures including the connected idea of breath
energy (Prana).He achieved this synthesis while taking
classes in both areas at the same time and finding that
no one else had drawn the same parllels between the two
systems or had interest in doing so.
He has specifically made these tapes to provide, through
tone and pacing, instruction difficult to achieve only
from reading. Each exercise topic is accessble separately
e.g. breath, spinal stretching, chakras, channels,
meridians. There is also a section, oraganized
alphabetically, applying acu-yoga exercises to specific
problems.

Reader Review
An excellent, informative introduction to acupressure.,
October 15, 1997
Reviewer: pipmor@erols.com from
ljm in Silver Spring, MD
Acu-Yoga is a well-written introduction to the use of
basic yoga techniques to stimulate acupuncture points
throughout the body, acupressure. 13 years ago, I cracked
a vertebra and have had chronic low back pain ever since.
The spinal flexibility series (among others) in Mr.
Reed's book helped me control the pain caused by muscle
spasm and return to normal function within a few weeks.
Acu-Yoga also provides information about the chakras, the
organ meridians and the eight regulatory channels, and
how these energetic systems work to restore and preserve
internal balance. For someone who is interested in using
gentle, self-paced exercise to relieve pain and improve
in overall health and vitality, this is an excellent
resource.
