Hi, everyone. You may have noticed that I haven't been around much the last few weeks.  (Well, I hope somebody noticed!) 

That's because I've been editing a must-read new book just released by Deborah Bernstein (Florian Yoga), a YJ Community member. 

YJ Community members Suzann Bain and Amy Nobles Dolan are also represented here, and I'm sure there are other members whom I don't know about yet.  (Please tell me who you are!)

Just click here or on the title below to see the book, the Table of Contents, and some samples:

Yoga in America: Passion, Diversity, and Enlightenment--In the Words of Some of its Most Ardent Teachers

Here's what the back cover says:

AN INVITATION FROM THE EDITORS:

Prepare to be enthralled and to be moved.  Get ready to laugh and to cry.  This is the story of Yoga in America, as told by 46 devoted teachers from every part of the Yoga spectrum.

Who could resist titles like these from the Table of Contents:

"Skip the Middle Man and Go Directly to Bliss!"

"Hot Yoga in America--Roots and Offshoots"

"How Patanjali Comes Alive in My Classes and My Life"

"Firm Buttocks or Self-Realization?"

How about the heartbreaking story of a disillusioned woman who spent years seeking happiness in ashrams in India and from gurus in America?

How about an uproarious guide for hesitant men thinking of trying Yoga?

How about the keys to joyous living from one of the leaders of Ananda Yoga in the U.S.?

Open up anywhere and you will find a wealth of energy, creativity, and profound insight.  We're sure you'll enjoy meeting these wonderful human beings as much as we enjoyed bringing them together in this book.

(A portion of the procedes from this book supports the families of fallen firefighters.)

(Normally it's a no-no to promote a product here.  I hope you'll agree this is an exception because I have absolutely no financial interest in this book and I'm writing on behalf of the authors of the book, including YJ members.)
