Living Your Yoga (Judith Lasater, Ph.D)


To all the yogi's out there (or people looking for a little wisdom) this is a very digestible book to have on hand. Judith Lasater is a well known teacher and writer and has offered great advice on how to be the best person you can be. I of all people know how flawed people can be and although I don't embrace my "less thans" I acknowlege that I am human and am capable of having bad days.

Judith has broken down the book into basic parts reflecting on the sage Patanjali and also the great yoga text, The Bhagavad Gita to illustrate how we can have compassion, release the need to control, have patience, understand suffering, have faith and courage, be of service and several more life venues.

It's called Living your yoga but there isn't much "yoga" in it. Maybe a few references but mostly it's about the philosophy of living a full life and realizing limitations as well as our full potential. The chapters are short and are perfect little reads to set the tone for the day or maybe read before bed to reflect.
