Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Lee's title is a bit suspect. Is her book about a slimmed-down, more flexible Buddha or just another book fusing distinct Eastern cultures to suit Western readers? Happily, it's neither. The director of the trendy OM Yoga Center in Manhattan and a former dancer, Lee found yoga physically exhilarating but its purported spiritual benefits elusive. Instead, she found the spiritual nourishment she was seeking in Buddhist teachings and meditations, then realized that the physical work of yoga helped her embody them. So her book follows her personal journey and explains how she began to incorporate Buddhist meditation techniques into the practice of yoga asanas. Lee writes clearly, with down-to-earth explanations of Buddhist and yoga philosophy. She includes many interesting meditation exercises and yoga sequences, vinyasas, or poses that flow from one to another, and that reflect her love of movement. The sequences progress in difficulty from those suitable for beginners to those that will challenge advanced yoga students. Jane Tuma
