Found the audiobook on YouTube. Good introduction to yoga practices and disciplining the mind and soul.

So much to marinate on. I got an audiobook version of this and bookmarked multiple areas that I want to go back and listen to again, to jot down and sit with, digest, and further consider. I wish there was a paperback version so I could highlight and make notes in a physical copy! Just a little over two hours long, but several moments that really gave me something to think about, and a fresh or renewed/deepened perspective on certain subjects.
