by Molly Chanson MA

Free Yourself from the Past and Live as Your Authentic Self With just a page a day, you can connect to your profound inner teacher and transform your life. Molly Chanson provides simple, daily practices that are organized into twelve chapters based on yoga philosophy, psychology, addiction recovery, and her own experiences. These practices are designed to help you align with your truth, find your purpose, and walk through the fire until you gain a new sense of Self. You'll use saucha (cleansing) to clear your inner and outer worlds, pranayama (breathwork) to master your nervous system, aparigraha (letting go) to heal and stay in the present moment, and more. The answers you seek are within.

I made it! 365 Days with the beautiful guidance of this book! I learned a lot about myself with this as my guide.

It helped me to look at aspects of myself that I had long kept hidden. It allowed me to get curious about my inner narratives, and I was able to begin rewriting them! Bit by bit. If you are on a yoga journey or even just a journey of discovering yourself. I highly recommend this book.

Great little book with a reading for each day of the year centering around yoga.

Loved this daily reader for this year and I’ll definitely revisit it another year. So good! Perfect for any yoga practitioner - but also anyone focused on self growth and awareness.

I didn't and still don't understand why saucha comes first in this book. I don't know why it would skip the yamas entirely before jumping to the niyamas.
I thought it would be drudgery to get through it.

However, the further I've gotten in the book, the more useful I feel like it is. I gave the book a chance and I still don't understand the order of the book.

I still don't like the organization of the book, but I plan to use it one page at a time for shorter meditations for my yoga students, so the organization doesn't really matter for that purpose.

I know I'm reading it in an unconventional way: cover-to-cover regardless of the day (but I'm not like, sitting and reading right through it, I take it with me wherever I go, in case I need to wait for something, and instead of waiting, I'll be reading). This book, with its short daily entries, is a perfect book for my purpose of using my time wisely.

I am not reading this book to follow the practices outlined in the book at this time. Maybe one day I will. BUT I have found some entries that I think will be helpful to share with my yoga students.
