Yoga is a practice of the mind, body, and spirit. It is a practice that has the power to change, heal, and transform us. Many of us who have chosen to walk the yogic path already know this. We know this because we have not only experienced our own powerful transformations, but we have also seen dramatic, and at times even miraculous, metamorphoses of the souls that walk beside us on this path. The Yoga Diaries is a powerful collection of these stories of transformation through stories of physical and emotional healing; stories of overcoming great adversity and often finding one’s true purpose; stories of breath-taking, alchemical soul transformations and spiritual healing; stories from beautiful hearts and souls from all over the globe. The inspiring stories of the brave yogis within these pages will convince you that yoga is a practice for anyone ... for everyone.
Full of short stories from people about how yoga changed their lives. It is split into sections: physical healing, emotional healing, overcoming adversity, and living your purpose. If you're interested in learning why and how people started to practice yoga, this book is for you. The format allows you to read a story or two if you only have a few minutes to read, so it is an easy book to pick up every now and then if you'd like to learn something quickly.
I am starting a new regular yoga practice in the new year and picked up this book to help inspire me with other people who have healed themselves with yoga.
