Mindful Yoga, Mindful Life: A Guide for Everyday Practice

Mindful Yoga, Mindful Life is about developing clarity of mind through a modern approach to the classic Eight Limbs of Yoga. Charlotte Bell's book is filled with her own personal stories of depression, relationship difficulties, and the regular challenges of living a wholesome life. She goes deeply into the Eight Limbs of Yoga which includes such topics as: deepening personal integrity, healthy care of the body, breathing disciplines, and centering the mind in meditation. This book is not really about physical yoga, it's about the mental qualities of peacefulness that are possible through physical yoga as well as everyday life. This is a great book if you want to bring peace of mind into your life in a real way, and/or learn to meditate. The foreword by Donna Farhi was less than inspiring and seemed off the mark.

Mindful Yoga, Mindful Life is an open invitation to bring yoga into your life. Drawing on many years of yoga study,the author presents its core teachings, artfully weaving in personal stories from her own journey. Part memoir,part instruction,the result is a warm and accessible guidebook to be sampled, savored, and shared. Receive the book as a gift, whether you are just beginning yoga or have been on the path for years. Yael Calhoun, coauthor of Create a Yoga Practice for Kids Executive Director of GreenTREE Yoga
