Great for the Beginner or Seasoned Yogi

This book has a little bit of everything. It's a perfect book for a person new to yoga, who wants to learn the basics. It's also a great book for a Senior who wants a gentle approach to yoga. It discusses aspects of breath, meditation, and the physical practice of yoga. It also focuses on stress relief and heart health. I real gem.

I have bought several copies of this book to give to relatives.

Helpful in healthcare

I took her certification training and received the book at Ananda in California. I have shared the book with open minded pathophysiology instructors at The University of Utah College of Nursing. It is so helpful to have adapted poses to offer people of "less than perfect" bodies. Yoga has been so helpful to my patients on numerous levels. I also got to hear a testimony from one of the participants of the Dean Ornish Program on which she collaberated. He was inspiring by reaffirming the benefits of yoga came to him even without his appreciation for or acceptance of Eastern philosophies. But peace and healing came to him nonetheless. What an inspiration Nischala, her course and her book have been for me.

The Healing Path of Yoga

Finally, a book on Yoga that is based in the spirit. And for real people. It has amazed me to see that some very simple practices could actually do what modern medicine was not able to do. The stories are imspiring as is the antidotal information. As a person recovering from a life threatening illness it has become my bible. I taught me compassion for myself and for others. I am looking forward to Devi's next book.
