Eat Yoga!

The Only Guidebook for Life You’ll Ever Need

Yoga—it’s not just an exercise

EAT YOGA! is about the health and well-being of your mind, body, and spirit, and how to make them better.

EAT YOGA! discusses the history, science, philosophy, and principles of yoga, placing them realistically in the context of current culture and everyday life. Similarly, the chapter on diet offers sound nutritional guidance and suggestions of how to make dietary choices based on yogic principles.

EAT YOGA!! includes a sequence of yoga postures and a spinal breathing technique designed to enhance overall health and well-being. Each posture is accompanied by photographs and detailed instructions, and can be done by anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. When practiced as described, this sequence can help to improve breathing, circulation, and flexibility while building strength throughout the whole body—neck, shoulders and arms, back, hips, and legs.

EAT YOGA! transcends the boundaries of religion and philosophy to address both the physical and spiritual needs of all humans.

EAT YOGA! is the author’s distillation of fifty years of practicing and teaching yoga, and a lifetime of inquiry into the nature of all things.
