About The Yoga Book

The Yoga Book is a personal yoga diary! It is a book for your thoughts and experiences, after a yoga class. Do you have a favorite posture? Sketch it! Do you have a favorite class or instructor? Take notes! Do you have a creative idea? Write it down! Use it to determine your favorite style of yoga or enhance your practice. The Yoga Book is also perfect for teacher trainings and yoga workshops! Every page has an inspirational quote, space for the date, style of yoga, and instructor’s name. It also has a glossary of classic yogas. Enjoy!

“The idea for The Yoga Book came to me in a yoga class! I saw it clearly in my mind and I needed somewhere to write it down. Also, I had recently met with an Indian medical doctor, who had said “Different styles of yoga effect people differently, so it is important to know which ‘style of yoga’ is right for you.” So, I decided to create a book, where people could journal about their experiences in a yoga class, write about the different postures – how they felt, get inspired, and write about their insights… Sometimes I would come to class with a problem, any problem, and leave with a solution! And when I did, I’d write it down somewhere, so I decided to create The Yoga Book.”

– Anonymous

    *Play it in the background – all day today!
  • Meditate…
  • Come from the essence of love…

    *Breathe love into your heart…
  • Get healthy!
    *Be at Peace…
    *Do the research… what do you need? 
  • Respect your promises…
  • If someone upsets you, tell yourself, “It’s the darkness… they’ve succumbed to it, temporarily.”
    *If you have compassion, you’ve evolved!
  • If you’re struggling with someone, think of something good about them, and stay in this place – emotionally, while honoring the moment.
  • If you’re confused, rather than accuse… ask questions and wait for answers.
    *Have a conversation… find out who they are, and who you are – in the process.
    *Wait until you’re calm… to have a conversation.
  • Express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a healthy way! 😀
    *Ask ‘the’ enemy to communicate their thoughts, feelings, fears, and experiences…
  • Make commitments, stand for something… focus on what’s best for everyone.
  • Find common ground… movies, television, sports, food, fashion, innovation, travel, academics and break some bread, or have some tea – whatever!
  • Set intentions…
    Ex: The peace talks will go well and people will honor them.
  • Follow your intuition…
    Click here: How… can you trust your intuition, today?
  • If you are having a hard time forgiving, then you are putting ‘the enemy’ ‘above’ you in some way.
    Ex: You are saying to yourself, “They matter more than I do, or they are more powerful… or they are better than me, or us…” This is a lie.
  • Sometimes you have to feel sorry for a person or group, before you can forgive them – and eventually love them…
  • Talk to the enemy… get the help of a mediator, if necessary.
    *Start with the words “I felt _____________” (hurt, sad, betrayed, devastated…) “when__________…”
    *Ask the question, ‘How can we start small to transform the situation?’
    *Ask the question, ‘What kind of help do we need?’
    We are more similar than different…
  • Enjoy!
