Stuttering, caused by a disorder in the brain’s right
hemisphere, can limit one’s life in a variety of ways, from job
choices and advancement to social and romantic opportunities.
Typical remedies emphasizing antidepressants and electronic devices
have had mixed results at best.
Yoga for Stuttering takes a fresh approach based on ancient
methods. Author J.M. Balakrishnan combines an understanding of the
neurological aspects of stuttering with yoga methods long used in
India for remediation to form a new, natural method for improving
vocal fluency. The book presents three related branches of yoga and
their accompanying practices, nada yoga chanting and
vocalization, hatha yoga yoga poses, and raja yoga guided
meditations, providing the reader with sets of voice, breathing,
and physical exercises to help relax the body and mind, relieve
chronic tension, and achieve fluent speech. The book features
photos and illustrations to make the method easy to follow, and no
prior knowledge of yoga is required. Yoga for Stuttering was
created to meet the needs of those who have not obtained relief
through traditional methods and is aimed at both speech
pathologists and individuals looking for a holistic, drug-free
approach to the condition.
