For those who are dedicated practitioners of yoga this journal will be a great addition not only to your library to also to your practice. The journal takes the reader on an in-depth study of various aspects of yoga while explaining not only the scripture behind it but also how to incorporate it into your life.
The book is organized where each sectional is given a picture of an agate followed by a page with the name of the focus. This is followed by a four-page collection of journal entries. The way the four pages are broken down is with the first page being dedicated to a yoga concept such as seva, doshas, kleshas and various Hindu deities just to name a few. These give a few paragraphs or paragraph to explain the importance of the term to yoga and how they assist the yoga practitioner to get in touch with the world around them.
The second page is Set An Intention. These activities give the reader a suggestion on how to put the previous page concept into practice whether it is with physical poises, breathing, reflections and observing your own thoughts. These intentions also offer ways of adjusting your yoga practice.
And then the last two pages are basically a lined journal entry combination. The third page has the questions at the top of the page asking the reader to explore their emotions, their motives and so much more while the fourth page is just room for writing.
The only thing I wish this journal would have had would have been a pronunciation guide to the terms and even better yet a glossary that allows the reader, especially a beginning reader, to have a shortcut to these term definitions.

This guided journal begins each 3-page chapter with a few paragraphs on yoga sutras, philosophies of peace, or a proverb of wisdom for the reader to contemplate. Then the reader is encouraged to set an intention for their yoga practice to apply the wisdom to their own lives and reflect on their own spirit. And a few prompts are provided with a blank page where the reader can record their thoughts and introspection about the topic.
The first section of daily meditations focuses on tuning in to yourself and recognizing your own energy, and then there are sections for tapping into the observing witness within yourself, letting go of worries and embracing truth, practicing self-care and compassion, and finally extending grace to yourself and others.
I really liked how the meditations gradually take you deeper into a more positive mind-set, opening up your inner thoughts and providing healing. This is a great companion to a yoga practice!
The teachings are rooted in Sankrit words and ideas, but most of them could apply to anyone of any religion or philosophy. There is only one lesson that I found which describes Brahma as god and says that god is in everything including inside ourselves. That teaching I do not agree with. However, most of the lessons are not really religious but philosophical, using universal truths that do not include religious beliefs.
The lessons include things like telling the truth, releasing fear, showing compassion and generosity to others, not letting your emotions bully you, and not relying on physical things to bring you happiness, but instead finding joy in your inner soul.
I would just skip over those couple of lessons that have a religious message, and only read the ones that are more general philosophy.

This is a thoughtful and very interesting journal. I feel anyone that uses yoga as meditation or even just meditates would enjoy this book. It is very directed and helps one analyze internal feelings. Not only helping one work through them but helping the user recognize their feelings. I received this book from Calisto Publishing and Rockridge press for an honest review. I found it to be a very solid journaling and meditation tool.

I began writing in this journal each evening and the prompts focus me and help alleviate the stress of the day!
Excellent book for adults to center themselves before taking on the next day’s challenges!
