Effort and Surrender: The Art and Wisdom of Yoga

I first came to know Eric Dinyer when I reviewed another book he illustrated. I raved about his work and he sent me a note. Since then we have collaborated on several projects including this one. I tell readers this so they will know I am not wholly objective! Having said that, this is an exquiste gift book. It is not meant to convince or educate. It is an inspiration. It is beyond me how Dinyer's photographs would not reach out and touch anyone interested in yoga or anyone considering it as a path for growth. The entire book was designed by Dinyer. The cutout in the cover is a touch that makes this a proud presentation for an inexpensive birthday or holiday gift. --------- Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of THIS IS THE PLACE, HARKENING, THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER and now TRACINGS, a chapbook of poetry from Finishing Line Press.
