This summer while you are traveling, relaxing or just spending some time at the beach, I have several new, wonderful books to recommend for you — Yoga For Life  by Colleen Saidman and Following Atticus by Tom Ryan.

Yoga for Life by Colleen Saidman

Colleen Saidman Yee is one of my heroes. An elevated soul, Colleen embodies the goodness and grace of a tortured past transformed by forgiveness, love and compassion. In her new book, Yoga For Life, A Journey to Inner Peace and Freedom (Atria Paperback, 2015), Colleen bravely turns herself inside out, exposing every ounce of her resonant life, while in the process, revealing her divinity.

From a rebellious young woman with a dangerous heroin habit, to a globe-trotting fashion model, to who The New York Times once called, “the First Lady of Yoga,” Colleen shares the remarkable story of finding herself through the healing power of yoga—and inspires others to do the same.

Specific yoga sequences accompany each chapter and address everything from hormonal mood swings to detoxing, depression, stress, and increased confidence and energy. Step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate Colleen’s poses, making it effortless to follow. Whether a yoga practitioner, teacher, or someone stirred by loving truth and redemption, Yoga for Life will move you.

Carl Jung said, “There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Colleen Saidman Yee once lived in the darkness. Now, with her beautiful new book, Yoga For Life, her light will shine for a long, long time to come. Namaste.

“A heart warming, heart wrenching, story of recovery, redemption, true love found, and a damn good yoga manual. Thank you Colleen!” Candace Vorhaus

Following Atticus by Tom Ryan

I am a sucker for books about dogs. I’m even more of a sucker when it’s a well-written book about dogs. And so it is with Tom Ryan’s adorable and life-affirming New York Times’ Bestseller, Following Atticus.

Following Atticus is the remarkable true story of a man and his best friend, Atticus M. Finch, a miniature schnauzer embarking on the challenge of a lifetime. This is journalist’s Tom Ryan’s real-life story of how he and his adorable dog attempt to scale all forty-eight of New Hampshire’s four-thousand-foot White Mountains, not once but twice, in the dead of winter.

Hiking across hundreds of miles, and deep into an enchanting and dangerous winter wonderland, Tom and Atticus share an adventure, while forming a bond that only one person and his or her dog can share. Following Atticus is an unforgettable true saga of adventure, friendship, and the unlikeliest of family, as one remarkable animal opens the eyes and heart of a tough-as-nails newspaperman to beauty and possibilities.

Is it possible for a dog to follow his heart? After reading Following Atticus, I believe it is.
