Description

"Yoga and life are journeys, and this book is a wonderful guide along the path!"—Greg Louganis, four-time Olympic gold medalist

Holistic wisdom for sustained peace

Ally Hamilton changed her life with the eight limbs of yoga, a spiritual tradition first recorded in the Yoga Sutras 1,600 years ago. Join Ally as she shows you how to apply the wisdom of this honored tradition to your modern-day life.

Physical poses—asanas—are the best-known aspects of yoga, but in the eight limbs practice, healing comes through exploring your relationship to the world and to yourself while learning to recognize the obstacles that block your path. Yoga's Healing Power shows how to create the life you want from the inside out, working with your mind and emotions, your body and breath, your memories and your pain. With hands-on exercises, meditations, journaling prompts, and stories of healing, this book helps you uncover your particular gifts and begin to feel joy.

Advance Praise

“I have practiced yoga nearly twenty years now, and I appreciate the spiritual and healing aspects of my practice as much, if not more, than the physical. Thank you Ally Hamilton and Yogis Anonymous for providing both the physical challenge, and the tools for healing and balance in my life. Yoga and life are journeys, and this book is a wonderful guide along the path!” -Greg Louganis, 4x Olympic Gold Medalist in the sport of Diving

"This is a stunningly generous book about what it means to move through life with grace, presence, and forgiveness. It's less of a treatise on yoga and more of a lesson on how to be human. You'll close the cover feeling more compassion for yourself than any yoga class could ever bestow. I was deeply humbled and greatly inspired by Ally Hamilton's courageous take on life, love, loss, and surrender." -- Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance

"Ally is really onto something fantastic with Yoga’s Healing Power. She weaves her life’s story together beautifully as she guides us through the eight limbs of yoga. We’re not talking just physical yoga; this is yoga as a way of life. This is the yoga that only you can create through practice and a dedication to the process behind it—the process of yoga, the process of life, the process of love. That is the gift of this book—it’s a memoir, it’s a motivational piece, it’s a pocket therapist, and a tailored yoga practice. Ally offers us thoughtful advice coming from a place of gratitude. She tackles universal struggles like betrayal, shame, doubt, rejection—experiences every adult has endured and shows us that we have the tools to understand and then address them. If we’re willing to put in the work to be our best selves, then we can understand the true gift that is yoga as a way of life, its healing power. This is such an honest, thoughtful and unique book for anyone looking to really understand what Yoga is all about.” —Kathryn Budig, author of “Aim True"

“I have practiced yoga nearly twenty years now, and I appreciate the spiritual and healing aspects of my practice as much, if not more, than the physical. Thank you Ally Hamilton and Yogis Anonymous...
