Product Information

Harmony Publishing for generously providing me with this fantastic ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of yoga or want to begin a yoga practice this book is perfect. Although Sanskrit terms are introduced, most of the text was accessible and the lessons were practical. She is a featured yoga teacher on the international stage with Chopra Global and on the YouTube channel The Chopra Well. After I finish that, I will move to the second half of the book to do the yoga poses, and physical part of these exercises.

When you are aware of the self-imposed constraints you have placed on yourself, you can upgrade your story. This isn’t something people are normally aware of, but you can experience your level of awareness with the following exercise. Yama asks you to be responsible for your anger, not to pass it along, unleash it on the unwary, or channel it as blame toward another. To love, create, be kind, act selflessly, experience wonder, and feel inspired are totally human and natural.An elegant book of yoga, taking you through the 8 limbs and offering a unique look at how to easily incorporate yoga into your life with quick daily routines. Featuring 50 poses created by Chopra and his long-time instructor Sarah Platt-Finger, Living in the Light will guide beginners and enthusiasts alike in nurturing a state of total awareness and a deeper understanding of self.

The exercises can easily be done at home, although I’d be interested to know how it would be for people who have never done yoga before.Each week focuses on a different stage of transformation, presented as themes such as Social Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence.

She teaches weekly class online, where she pursues her mission of helping others find a home inside themselves. She then breaks down the poses into sections like standing poses, balancing poses, seated twists etc. I have always enjoyed yoga as a form of exercise but I always felt like there was something missing.When following along with a yoga class or exercise video, the session would move on to the next pose or the same pose just on the opposite side. Firstly, I would not recommend learning yoga from a book; each pose is described and has one illustarion. The self you experience today owes its most valued experiences to your true self, which is already whole and perfect. In this groundbreaking new work, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra and his coauthor Sarah Platt-Finger, yoga director at Chopra Global and co-founder of ISHTA Yoga, offer an illuminating program for self-realization, bliss, and wholeness.
