Summary

If you think that you have to retreat to a cave in the Himalayas to find the enlightenment that yoga promises, think again. In this second edition of Living Your Yoga, Judith Hanson Lasater stretches the meaning of yoga beyond its familiar poses and breathing techniques to include the events of daily life - all of them - as ways to practice. This edition includes three new chapters ("Relaxation", "Empathy", and "Worship").

Using the time-honored wisdom of the Yoga Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita to steer the course, she serves up off-the-mat practices to guide you in deepening your relationships with yourself, your family and friends, and the world around you. Inspiring and practical, she blends her heartfelt knowledge of an ancient tradition with her life experiences as a daughter, sister, partner, mother, friend, and yoga practitioner and teacher. The result: a new yoga that beckons you to find the spiritual in everyday life.

Daily life mantra

I like how we can incorporate the teaching of Patanjali into our everyday lives. Take small steps each day

Really interesting listen

This was easy to listen to and concepts broken down into understandable chapters which can then be used in everyday life.

Straightforward and Insightful

I listened to the audio version of this book. I found the narration to be of good quality and easy to follow.

I really enjoyed and appreciated the explanation about what the term surrender means in yoga. This is the first yoga book I've read which has done that and I've dipped in and out of a few. It really helps deepen the readers understanding.

However I find some of the suggested activities to be counter productive. I also have issues with the concept that everything and everyone should be forgiven. Afterall, it is being in that dark and angry place that leads to the greatest healing and insight. This isn't something you can just do over night. More importantly somethings are just unforgivable. And can't be let go of.

Another pet peeve of mine is when people unnecessarily gender things instead of using them or they. Sadly this book is guilty of this, which is annoying. And makes it less inclusive.

But overall I really enjoyed this book and found it straightforward but insightful. I would definitely recommend to anyone trying to understand the philosophy behind yoga.
