- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019Wow, I can't say enough about this book!
A little background on me: I did a bit of yoga study like, 18 years ago in college, then just fell out of practice. I continued a little here and there with some classes or a DVD workout, but haven't done anything for a few years. Deep down I have the heart of a yogi, but it wasn't a conscious practice for me. (Confirming you do NOT have to be a crazed yoga person to LOVE this book!) Then I found this book through my local book club and it just made my heart sing! I love every page in every chapter! I find myself rereading things and just sitting and thinking. It's fantastic! (I highly recommend getting the paper copy so you can underline and make notes - I've completely marked mine all up the first read through and 100% will be reading it again and looking forward to seeing what stuck out to me the first time around!) There are questions you can journal about, and daily affirmations at the end of each chapter to keep your thinking going. It's a perfect balance of translated information, real life examples and time to reflect to get what you need from it that day.
This book is an absolute joy! It has helped me be a happier saner person. It's given me permission to not be perfect. It's inspired me to break out my yoga mat and breath. It's helped me work through the grief of losing my grandmother and helped me to better see who I am. Crazy I'm talking about a book, right? It's magical.
I can't thank the author enough for putting this book out there. She is a wonderful person and is sparking a better life for so many people! I will definitely be following her career and picking up her future writings.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2024Of all the yoga books I have this is the ultimate guide! The format is fantastic and how you use this book is why it is the best!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016loved this book! I've practiced yoga for 40+ years and I enjoyed learning about the spirit of the practice.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023Wow! I rarely order books about yoga that aren't from very special authors. But Jennie Lees caught my attention as one who also wishes to bring the gifts of yoga to others and I had a feeling True Yoga offered something special, and the reviews confirmed. When I started reading it I could FEEL the truth that abounds in it, and of course my heart warmed when I discovered the influence of Yogananda on her work. Now I can add Jannie Lee to a short list of great authors on the path and power of yoga.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016True Yoga is a book that I can read over and over again and still find something new to take away and apply to my life. Unlike other yoga books I have read in the past that get so caught up in the jargon, no one can understand...What I love about this book is how the author takes the 8 Limbs of Yoga and breaks them down into specific and authentic ways for the reader to understand and make connections to their daily life. Each chapter supports the reader with providing a section for Daily Practice (to help integrate the practice in your life), Questions for Further Reflection (to support reflecting on how this practice is currently showing up or not in your life) and Affirmations to Post and Remember (to help solidify beliefs in your subconscious). It is like having your own personal Yogi coach in a book. True Yoga is truly what yoga is all about: balancing the body, mind, and spirit to extend to its highest self. It is a wonderful gift you can give to yourself and others!!! I am so glad that I found it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016This book is a wonderfully written practical guide on how to approach life through all of its many challenges. I found it a joy to read and each chapter is well described with good examples making it very easy to follow and understand. I also like having the ability to refer back to practices and review questions at the end of each chapter whenever I’m faced with something new and difficult in my life.
I learned how yoga is much more than postures and stretches on a mat and how to integrate yoga teachings, written thousands of years ago, into my life. It helps you understand simple yet powerful ways of walking through life happily and peacefully. I find I’m now much more at ease with challenges at work and in my relationships with coworkers and family members. It also shows how you can’t find long-term happiness by satisfying external desires and acquiring material things and that long-term happiness is only achieved from within and through your connection with the Divine. I’m grateful for this book and the new positive outlook I now have on life!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016This book is a guide to life. It is a workbook. It not only explains these beautiful yogic concepts but gives daily practices of how to harness them and put them into practice in our every day. There are Affirmations, meditations, deep questions for further reflection and exercises to take out into the world to practice and play with the wisdom we uncover in ourselves through the Sutras.
This book is so clear and straight forward. I have been doing yoga for 20 years, two years ago I did my teacher training. We dabbled in the Philosophical concepts in our training but it is very dense information and I felt like I learned a bunch of words I could barely pronounce and not much more. This book is awesome, it satisfies the intellectual and is really accessible.
I have found opportunity to used what I have learned in this book parenting my three boys, in my marriage, at work and many other times when it has felt like the sky was falling.

Katy SilvesterReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 14, 20185.0 out of 5 stars On my level
I started reading this book 18 months ago after starting to practice yoga in a deeper way with my teacher who I check in with every three months. This book allowed me to understand the yoga sutras on a level that was really meaningful to me and I only moved onto the next chapter when I felt ready to do so. I have just finished the book at a time when I am starting to incorporate "sitting" into the end of my morning practice after I have completed pranayama. I am managing 7 mins at the moment but I know this will increase the more I practice. Thank you for assisting me in understanding the importance of yoga in my life.
MaazReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book, all Yoga teachers should read this version
Amazing book, all Yoga teachers should read this version. So much easier to understand than the other version I was recommended for my yoga teacher training.
