Product Description

Judith Hanson Lasater has been teaching an annual yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, in Helena, Montana, for 28 years. When she learned that one of her students was collecting Lasater’s thoughts — which she called “Judith’s aphorisms” — Lasater decided to collect them in this book. Featuring one thought for each day of the year, along with a suggested practice, these brief, powerful insights reflect the author’s knowledge of classic yoga philosophy and years of experience. Humorous, inspiring, and surprisingly down-to-earth, they guide seekers both on and off the yoga mat. These aphorisms address love, asana, fear, trust, expectations, pranayama, suffering, laughter, presence, the Yoga Sutra, and much more. They emphasize the experience of being present to one's self and to life’s ups and downs — day by day, breath by breath, moment by moment. A Year of Living Your Yoga is a gentle invitation to readers to know themselves on a deeper level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A small book with big wisdom, October 13, 2006

By	Sparkle Reed "smartmouth" (MILWAUKEE, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I'm admittedly a huge fan of Judith Hanson Lasater's other works, so naturally I was anticipating her latest offering: "A Year Of Living Your Yoga". Borrowing the theme of her other popular publication, "Living Your Yoga", Lasater has created a daily meditation style book that gives bite sized wisdom that you can use daily. Each day, there is a proverb along with a suggestion of how to apply it to your day to day life. For those who want live their yoga and not just "do" yoga, this is a nice little way to do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, January 13, 2008

By	Bibliophile Equestrienne (League City, Texas) - See all my reviews

Short and concise meditations, the perfect way to start the day with a positive and uplifting thought. A helpful reminder of what is really important in our (often) hectic lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga Thoughts That have Shaped my Life, March 17, 2007

By	yoga chick - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic book to use if you are a yoga teacher. It gives great ideas for class themes, or to use in your own practice. The writings are thought provoking and uplifting. A good read, even if you don't practice yoga.
