Finding this on Netgalley at the time I did, could not have been more perfect! I’ve been doing a 30-Day Yoga challenge with Adrienne this month so to tie in this read with my practices, has been amazing.
During this time especially, we’re all looking for ways to escape, to find calm and silence, but it’s not easy. We’re either all in the house or venture out to work but with the added stress and fear of whether or not you’ll get the virus. For my family, we’re dealing with an extra amount of stress but now is not the time to discuss that, however, it is the reason I’ve decided to step up my game when it comes to health and wellbeing.
When you’re feeling stressed or just not yourself, it’s a sign that you need to get in touch with your inner self. For most that is done in silence through breathing and meditation. Some find solace in other ways but this has always worked for me!
I invite you to get in tune with yourself again, find the peace within you, and learn how to manage stress in these trying times!
This book is a nice dive into the practice of yoga on a meditative level and what you can get out of the mindfulness practice more so than the physical only practice.
I found his book very interesting, and will likely come back to it again in time. I think this is a nice intermediate level book for getting into the practice of meditation. It might sound a little like magic if you haven't yet come to terms with the fact that there's more out their than western medicine that works.
I really enjoyed this book. It usefully brings together mindfulness with yoga--which seems super obvious, but too often practitioners focus on one or the other. Targeting a western audience, the author meets us where we are and invites us to deepen our practice, offering the tools with which to do so. Highly recommended.
This is good and probably best for newbies, but more experienced practitioners may pick up some tidbits. This quick read with short chapters include some nice metaphors and a little philosophy, asana guidance, and more. Yoga can be quite personal, so while there's decent info here don't set your expectations too high.
Thank you very much for the ARC for review!!
