The Promise of Love, Sex, and Intimacy: How a Simple Breathing Practice Will Enrich Your Life Forever
Change your life in just seven minutes a day with the revolutionary practice that will open your body and psyche to gratifying levels of personal and sexual intimacy. “Read this book,” says Deepak Chopra.
“Your Seven-Minute Wonder” is the profoundly uplifting, empowering, yet simple solution to the cause of all human discontent: the lack of intimacy. As myriad techniques from meditation to yoga to obsessive exercise regimens become more and more popular—this special breathing technique is all you need to satisfy your intimate relationships. Requiring just seven minutes a day, this physical practice combines healthful breathing and synchronistic body movement. The in-and-out breath cycle, which Mark Whitwell carefully delineates, activates the deep male-female polarity within each of us, regardless of sex. The practice is effortless, and practitioners report that their well-being, vitality, sexuality, self-awareness, and true desires are awakened immediately and dramatically.
The Promise of Love, Sex, and Intimacy is a wise, powerful, and easy-to-follow roadmap for a profoundly life-changing practice of intimacy and human connection.

Moderately disappointing given the amazing Yoga of Heart.
It just seems to repeat the same thing again and again and is bulked out by boring stories of how so-and-so did the practice and changed their life.
Mark is an amazing teacher but this book I found really lacking in worthwhile content.

A Beautiful Marriage of Breath & Life
This is a well-written, simple, book on marrying breath with body, movement, and life. I like how the author specifically avoids the word “yoga,” and instead frames everything very differently than what is typical “yoga” instruction. The philosophy underneath it all is, by itself, worth the purchase of this book.

This book was awful. I read several chapters in and had to quit. It kept talking about "The Promise" and how the author would get to it, but after 5 chapters in it was still talking in circles. This reminded me of a The Secret knockoff book. I stopped instead of trying to power through a pointless book.

I took a weekend yoga course with Mark Whitwell at Esalen last year. The course was great and this book, and the related exercises, were great for my practice.
