Living in the Light: Yoga for Self-Realization

I love the Positive affirmations, and all the description of the yoga poses.

Enjoyed content and exercise demos and descriptions. If you’re into yoga, get this book! A great perspective! You can’t lose with Depak!

Ideas to consider and practice

In the first half of this book, Deepak Chopra explains the eight limbs of Raja Yoga and presents a six-week program for conscious living and self-realization. Each week focuses on a different stage of transformation, presented as themes such as Social Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence. There are five lessons within each week, one for each weekday with weekends off for integration. Each lesson begins with an affirmation and discussion, followed by an exercise. Many lists are provided, making the material easy to understand and implement.Although Sanskrit terms are introduced, most of the text was accessible and the lessons were practical. I love the gentle, encouraging way that Deepak teaches. I particularly appreciated his discussion of karma. A few sections were more esoteric and lost me a bit, but I am comfortable using what works for me now and leaving the rest.In the second half of the book, yoga teacher Sarah Platt-Finger focuses on the asanas. She lost me a bit with some of her discussion of subtle energy (e.g., nadis, chakras, gunas, vayus, bandhas), but her presentation of 54 poses was mostly understandable. The poses are grouped into categories such as simple standing poses and forward bends with the intention that you can create a well-rounded practice by choosing one or two poses from each category. Each pose includes a drawing or two, an overview, how-to, benefits, therapeutic applications, and helpful tips, including cautions and modifications. My main frustration with this section is that the drawings didn’t always match up with the text. As an example, the how-to section might describe a twist to the left, while the drawing shows a twist to the right.I wish the book had a more detailed table of contents, but otherwise, I liked the presentation. I recommend this book for anyone interested in yoga and personal growth.I was provided an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review.

The book arrived on time a few days ago. I am looking forward to learning the details of each yoga pose and the meaning and benefits behind each one. In addition to “Living in the Light” to wellness!

I Can't being to tell you what a great Book this. If you are looking for a Book that can help you understand who you are and that Love rand Happiness will help!!!!!!

Nice but I couldn’t get it on ,so will give it away .. no way to put it on ..

For just getting into yoga, this is a good read.

Yoga is the seat of the soul. To know this and practice it with this knowingness strengthens your divine practice.Do not buy the audible, you need the printed book.

Just perfect. Book came on time for birthday present. Thanks,

health of mind

Wunderschönes Buch mit tiefen Yoga Übungen

Life, love, peace, presence - love Deepak's teachings. Yoga what a great practice for the meaning of life. It is not for the bendy, young and flexible that is the gift it brings to any age group. It is a spiritual practice and not just an exercise like Pilates. Mind, body and soul.
