Book Description  
If you think that you have to escape to a cave in the Himalayas to find the enlightenment that yoga promises, think again. In Living Your Yoga, Judith Lasater stretches the meaning of yoga beyond its familiar poses and breathing techniques to include the events of daily life as practice. Using the time-honored wisdom of the Yoga Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita to steer the course, she serves up off-the-mat practices to guide you in deepening your relationships with yourself, your family and friends, and the world around you. Inspiring and practical, she blends her heartfelt knowledg e of an ancient tradition with her life experiences as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, and yoga teacher and practitioner. The result: a new yoga that beckons you to find the spiritual in everyday life. Living Your Yoga is divided into three parts, each identifying the qualities to be cultivated and the challenges to be transformed through awareness: 

*Awakening of Awareness: Yoga within Yourself 
*Widening the Circle: Yoga and Relationships 
*Embracing All Life: Yoga in the World 

More than 10 million people practice yoga today, and of the many fine yoga books in the marketplace, this is the only one to show you how to extend the inner principles of yoga into gentle and enduring benefits in every aspect of daily life.
