Finding the spiritual in everyday life.
Long description
The benefits of yoga can be experienced at work, in the kitchen, anywhere! In this inspiring and practical guide yoga master and best-selling author Judith Lasater Ph.D., PT., stretches the meaning of yoga beyond its familiar poses and breathing techniques to fold in the events of daily life -- all of them -- as practice, so readers can connect to the spiritual in every moment. Living Your Yoga is divided into three parts, each identifying the qualities to be cultivated and the challenges to be transformed through awareness: -- Awakening of Awareness: Practicing Within Yourself -- Discovering Your Teacher at Home: Practicing with Relationships -- Enjoying the Dance of Life: Practicing with the World. Using the time-honored wisdom of the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita to steer the course, Lasater instructs readers in off-the-mat practices to guide practitioners to deepen relationships with themselves, their family, friends and casual acquaintances. Inspiring and practical, Lasater blends her keen knowledge of an ancient tradition with her own life experiences as a daughter, wife and mother. The result? A new yoga that beckons us to find the spiritual in everyday life. Almost 7 million people practice yoga today, with twice that number interested in the idea -- and of the many fine yoga books in the marketplace, this is the only one to show how to extend the inner principles of yoga into gentle and enduring benefits in every aspect of daily life.
