Exploring and Understanding Different Styles of Yoga

# data[].attributes.description
On the surface it may appear that yoga is yoga is yoga, but take a closer look and youll discover myriad different yoga systems and lineages. There are dozens of yoga styles to choose from, and while yoga is for everyone, not every style is the perfect fit for every person. But how do you choose between mysterious-sounding names such as Ashtanga, Kundalini, Bikram, and Kripalu? As Meagan McCrary discovered when she began exploring different classes, finding the right style is essential for establishing a steady yoga practice. Pick Your Yoga Practice is the first book to describe the most prominent yoga styles in depth, including teaching methodology, elements of practice, philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, class structure, physical exertion, and personal attention. Those new to yoga will discover they have options and can confidently attend a class of their choosing, while experienced practitioners will expand their understanding of the vast world of modern yoga, and perhaps find themselves venturing into new territory.

A Child, an Elder, and the Light from an Ancient Sky

# data[].attributes.description
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the old ones still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and the complex, unforgettable characters we have come to know from Neither Wolf nor Dog and The Wolf at Twilight. Part history, part mystery, part spiritual journey and teaching story, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is filled with the profound insight into humanity and Native American culture we have come to expect from Nerburns journeys. As the American Indian College Fund has stated, once you have encountered Nerburns stirring evocations of Americas high plains and incisive insights into the human heart, you can never look at the world, or at people, the same way again.

Uncovering Your Inner Wisdom and Potential for Self-Healing

# data[].attributes.description
In 1979, Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, a successful surgeon, took a class from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross that focused on crayon drawing for healing, especially with patients facing life-threatening disease. Siegel incorporated into his practice these techniques  many of which were laughed at by others in the medical community. But his Exceptional Cancer Patients carefrontation protocol facilitated healings, often deemed miraculous, and attracted attention. Dr. Bernie discovered and shared the fact that while patients might need antibiotics, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, their bodies also want to heal. He found that this innate propensity could be aided by unconventional practices, including drawing. Why? Drawing produces symbols often representing the subconscious. Siegel shows how to interpret drawings to help with everything from understanding why we are sick to making treatment decisions and communicating with loved ones. All those facing ill health, and those caring for them, personally and professionally, will welcome the hands-on, patient-proven practices offered here.

How does a real-life Zen master  not the preternaturally calm, cartoonish Zen masters depicted by mainstream culture  help others through hard times when hes dealing with pain of his own? How does he meditate when the world is crumbling around him? Is meditation a valid response or just another form of escapism? These are the questions Brad Warner ponders in Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate.

During a year that Warner spent giving talks and leading retreats across North America, his mother and grandmother died, he lost his dream job, and his marriage fell apart. In writing about how he applied the Buddhas teachings to his own real-life suffering, Warner shatters expectations, revealing that Buddhism isnt some esoteric pie-in-the-sky ultimate solution but an exceptionally practical way to deal with whatever life dishes out.
