Chapter 2:
" I wanted to practice and study yoga as much as possible, so I incorporated it into my Georgetown classes in every way that I could. For philosophy class, I wrote a paper entitled "Was Plato the Founder of Yoga?".... And for Catholic imagination class I wrote "Did Jesus Do Yoga?"
There are yoga practice hints throughout the memoir and appendices with sample yoga practices, meditation techniques, guided relaxation tips, and Ayurvedic recomendations for a healthy lifestyle.

I received a review copy of the memoir from the publisher, New World Library.
This sounds like a memoir that doesn't take itself too seriously!
ReplyDeleteSuko: the book is written in a kind of playful style but the author does give constructive suggestions for yoga and daily health.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun introduction to yoga, something I'd like to learn more about.

Thoughts in Progress
This sounds like a fun memoir!
ReplyDeleteI am a yogi, but somehow this book doesn't really appeal to me... I think it's because I don't know this author and I'd rather read a memoir by one of my favourite yogi's :s
ReplyDeleteGood to hear it's a fun read though!
I think this one sounds like a hoot to read. I want to do yoga and I think after Marc graduates I will truly find the time to do this!
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I've tried yoga. I need to make the time.
