Don't Ugly Cry While Driving: Words of Advice From a Yoga Teacher
Ever wish your yoga teacher could whisper calmness and clarity into your ear when life gets messy?That’s the feeling you’ll find in Don’t Ugly Cry While Driving—a collection of down-to-earth stories that blend humor, honesty, and yoga philosophy to help you navigate everyday chaos with a little more grace.
Life is unpredictable. Family can be complicated. The world can sometimes feel heavy, especially in our day-to-day details and when it comes to the politics. But through these pages, you’ll be reminded that you’re not alone—and that mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion are free, practical tools for real life.
Each story offers a moment of reflection, a touch of encouragement, and a journal prompt to help you go deeper into your own self-growth—so you can live better with yourself and others.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Cherie Dawn has a gift for breaking down big ideas into down-to-earth, easy-to-understand insights. Her tone is warm and supportive—it feels like chatting with a wise friend who truly gets you. What I love most is how relatable the book is. Through real-life examples and gentle guidance, she offers practical, realistic suggestions instead of drastic life changes. The result is a read that’s inspiring without being overwhelming, and encouraging rather than preachy. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something supportive, practical, and genuinely uplifting.” Deana Rae Tully, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (retired) and Yoga Instructor (since 2015)
