Downward Dog, Upward Fog (Paperback)

Downward Dog, Upward Fog
Downward Dog, Upward Fog (Paperback)
By Meryl Davids Landau

Review & Description

Lorna Crawford has a great boyfriend, longtime friends, and a well-paying job as special- events coordinator at a premium ice-cream manufacturer. But, out of sorts and filled with self-doubt, the 33 year old soon realizes that what she really wants is to stay on the spiritual path she keeps diving off of. Lorna jump-starts her efforts at a silent yoga retreat. But after returning from the mountain, she quickly loses her connection in the face of scheming coworkers, judgmental girlfriends, and, especially, her overly critical mother. Lorna also wrestles over her future with her boyfriend, a hot guy who takes her to the hottest places, but who can’t discern a meditation cushion from a toad stool. Reading spiritual books and visiting a channeler and energy healer move Lorna forward, but her confusion remains. Lorna’s seeking is put to the ultimate test when personal tragedy strikes. Will she come to truly understand that living spiritually has little to do with how you pretzel yourself on the yoga mat (although she gets plenty good at that), and everything to do with embracing the twists in everyday life?

“How delicious to find a novel for women who find spirituality every bit as enticing as fashion. The characters in Meryl Davids Landau’s page-turner aren’t the only ones uplifted here—the reader gets a dose of inspiration along with a mesmerizing story.” --Victoria Moran, author of Creating a Charmed Life Read more

Vachanamrut Handbook: Insights into Bhagwan Swaminarayan's Teachings (Paperback)

Vachanamrut Handbook: Insights into Bhagwan Swaminarayan's Teachings
Vachanamrut Handbook: Insights into Bhagwan Swaminarayan's Teachings (Paperback)
By Sadhu Mukundcharandas

Review & Description

Thorough and detailed, The Vachanamrut Handbook supplements the study of The Vachanamrut, a compilation of discourses on universal topics such as finding inner peace, spirituality and the true nature of life and the soul, delivered by Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Transcribed by Hindu ascetics in his presence, The Vachanamrut, is the most sacred text of the Swaminarayan movement.

Bhagwan Swaminarayan was a remarkable figure in nineteenth century India who established the Swaminarayan denomination of Hinduism. Bhagwan Swaminarayan was a social reformer who campaigned against female infanticide and sati (immolation of widows), a child prodigy who defeated India s great scholars in debate at the age of eight, a spiritual authority on Hinduism and Hindu scriptures, and a divine figure revered by millions as the Supreme Reality.

The Vachanamrut Handbook acts as a beginner s guide into the ideas and philosophies established in The Vachanamrut. With the aid of maps, charts, paintings and sketches, The Vachanamrut Handbook provides invaluable context necessary for the study of The Vachanamrut. It not only explains the political, cultural, and religious background of the time, it also distills the philosophy and concepts that frequently emerge in the text. The Vachanamrut Handbook is an absolute must have for any serious student of the Swaminarayan movement. Read more

Yoga - Recovery & Rejuvenation (2010) (HEAL With Lara)
Yoga - Recovery & Rejuvenation (2010) (HEAL With Lara) (DVD)
By Lara Dutta

Review & Description

In Sanskrit, the word yoga means to unite - it is a discipline that affects and enhances both the conscious self and the subconscious as well - ultimately, benefitting the practitioner on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels and taking him/her to a higher, more balanced, joyful state of living. One of the fundamental principles of yoga is that we all can do it, and at any age.

After having benefitted from this magnificent art, I have put together a series which aims at presenting all the asanas in a simple yet easy-to-follow manner, such that even a beginner can practice them safely and see the difference. Through this dvd, I will take you on an effortless journey through which you will learn various breathing exercises, different mudras & specific asanas. And very soon, just as with me, it will become a part of your every day life and a pathway to deep inner calm, emotional stability and immense physical well-being. Read more

Review & Description

Northern Lore is a Field Guide to the Northern Mind-Body-Spirit, and will help you re-discover the Folk-Lore & Traditions of North Western Europe, and acquaint you with modern practices inspired by that lore.

In today's exciting cosmopolitan society, we tend to discard the old in favor of the new; and while discovering new traditions is a wonderful experience, it's important to also reflect on the traditions that have shaped our culture, and see where they've taken us.

In Northern Lore you will:

* Practice "Runic Yoga" for Health and Well Being
* Learn Ancient Herblore for Holistic Healing
* Meet your Animal Spirit Guide, or Fylgia
* Discover Lost Meaning in the Days of the Week
* Explore Modern Holidays & connections to Ancestral Festivals
* Unlock the Mysteries of the Runes
* Sample Viking and Anglo-Saxon cuisine

Together we'll take an incredible journey back in time, and forward, embracing a synthesis of ancestral riches, and modern sensibilities. My hope is that after reading this, you'll go and dig deeper into your history - read the Eddas, harvest some herbs, practice runic yoga and cook a viking feast!

Live the Lore!

These lectures were designed to remain private but it has now been decided to allow lay persons to have an access to the Science of Sciences.

Review & Description

Yin Yoga: Outline of a Quiet Practice brings together in a fresh way the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Taoism with Hindu yoga practices. The Yin aspect of Yoga (using postures that stretch connective tissue) is virtually unknown but vital for a balanced approach to physical and mental health. Paul Grilley outlines how to practice postures in a Yin way. Grilley includes an explanation of Modern Meridian Theory, which states that the meridians of acupuncture theory are currents flowing through the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga is specifically designed to address these tissues. For yoga practitioners looking for something beyond physical postures, Yin Yoga addresses the deeper spiritual dimensions of yoga, with helpful sections on chakras, breathing exercises, and meditation.

Review & Description

NOW FEATURING THE DESIGN YOUR OWN WORKOUT MATRIX MENU OPTION!!!All I can say is, wow! This isn't your mother's yoga. Dance the Chakras Yoga Workout features two 30 min. sessions. starting with a complete 30 minute Kundalini Yoga routine, invigorating, dynamic, and profoundly effective, just like Ana & Ravi's other workouts. The 2nd set is not your usual "Trance" fare, but an energetic, pulsating, sequence of mostly lead movement routines. This section is pretty aerobic and somewhat intense. Although the moves seem simple, those who don't have a dance or aerobic, etc., background can easily participate. (This DVD allows the user to pre-program their own workout.) Dance 1 is Tribal Dance. The others feature Funky Temple Dance, Dance of Power, and Heart Dance. The last two segments can only be described as blissful. Tom Carden's music on this one is hands down the best music on a yoga DVD. Like all their recent offerings, Ana & Ravi have broken away from the yoga pack with this exciting, innovative DVD.

Review & Description

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans. Read more

Review & Description

This Kindle edition of The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath includes a biography of the author, Yogi Ramacharaka, which was one of the pen names of William Walker Atkinson.

Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject, except when the "Science of Breath" touches upon the same. The "Science of Breath" touches Yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters the field of spiritual development.

The Hindu Yogis have always paid great attention to the Science of Breath, for reasons which will be apparent to the student who reads this book. Many Western writers have touched upon this phase of the Yogi teachings, but we believe that it has been reserved for the writer of this work to give to the Western student, in concise form and simple language, the underlying principles of the Yogi Science of Breath, together with many of the favorite Yogi breathing exercises and methods. We have given the Western idea as well as the Oriental, showing how one dovetails into the other. We have used the ordinary English terms, almost entirely, avoiding the Sanscrit terms, so confusing to the average Western reader.

The first part of the book is devoted to the physical phase of the Science of Breath; then the psychic and mental sides are considered, and finally the spiritual side is touched upon.

The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice (Paperback)

The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice
The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice (Paperback)
By T. K. V. Desikachar

Review & Description

The first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to viniyoga--yoga adapted to the needs of the individual. 


• A contemporary classic by a world-renowned teacher. 


• This new edition adds thirty-two poems by Krishnamacharya that capture the essence of his teachings. 


Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who lived to be over 100 years old, was one of the greatest yogis of the modern era. Elements of Krishnamacharya's teaching have become well known around the world through the work of B. K. S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Indra Devi, who all studied with Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father all his life and now teaches the full spectrum of Krishnamacharya's yoga. Desikachar has based his method on Krishnamacharya's fundamental concept of viniyoga, which maintains that practices must be continually adapted to the individual's changing needs to achieve the maximum therapeutic value. 

In The Heart of Yoga Desikachar offers a distillation of his father's system as well as his own practical approach, which he describes as "a program for the spine at every level--physical, mental, and spiritual." This is the first yoga text to outline a step-by-step sequence for developing a complete practice according to the age-old principles of yoga. Desikachar discusses all the elements of yoga--poses and counterposes, conscious breathing, meditation, and philosophy--and shows how the yoga student may develop a practice tailored to his or her current state of health, age, occupation, and lifestyle. 

This is a revised edition of The Heart of Yoga.
