Lo yoga nella vita

This book is incredible. As I approached the end, in fact, I was amazed that only one person wrote it and that she wasn't 100 years old. The wisdom and the clarity with which Farhi writes is a true gift to take in. I am a yoga teacher and I think this book is a must for all who take on this role. Fa Leggi tutto

There are many books on yoga, but not many really delve into what it means to study and engage in yoga practice beyond the mat. What makes yoga different to simply doing stretches or gymnastics at the local recreation centre? In Bringing Yoga To Life , Donna has an easily relatable and no-nonsense sty Leggi tutto

As I embark on 9 months of intensive yoga study, this book (part of the required reading) is a wonderful guide to daily practice, staying present and principled intention. It's a lovely book for anyone practicing yoga - or anyone curious about yoga.

Un libro fondamentale per un approccio spirituale allo yoga, da tener sempre vicino e da rileggere mille volte.

I'm really pleased to see that this book is so well regarded by others who have read it. I thought it was exceptional.

Ci guida nel portare l’attenzione sugli ostacoli che possiamo incontrare, sulle distrazioni Leggi tutto

I did not expect to find this book useful or relevant... but it was. It was also an interesting philosophical treatise. From the book: “Are my choices supporting what is deeply satisfying in my life? And are my choices leading to long-term freedom or short lived pleasure?" I don't think you can ask th Leggi tutto

4.5 Stars. I was pleasantly surprised by this book which was recommended to me by a woman who lead a specific yoga class I took. It gently embodies a way of living that appeals to me through the principles of yoga although there is no requirement to master the entire philosophy. The focus is to prac Leggi tutto

This is the first book I've read by this celebrated yoga teacher and to be honest, I was disappointed. Farhi tackles the immense question of how to make your life your yoga practice, and bring your yoga practice fully to bear on your life. In doing so she seems to take all the "folk wisdom" of today Leggi tutto

This was hit and miss for me. There's some solid information here, but I feel like a lot of the book was hamstrung by popular yoga, which is less interested in a challenge practice beyond the postures than making yoga appealing. I would have liked a much more extensive discussion of the Yamas and Ni Leggi tutto
