Living the Practice

"How do you live your yoga practice? Start small. Make a commitment. Follow through. Keep doing it until it works for you. Test it out - don't just do a practice in your room. Try it in real-life situations. You can bring the practices into whatever you do - cooking, gardening, driving your car, working, being with people. An ordinary life infused with practice becomes a meaningful life." With these simple and encouraging words, Swami Radhananda invites us into her latest book, Living the Practice. This collection of Swami Radhananda's writings brings together her signature intelligent and inspirational teachings. Her essays stretch beyond the norms of "stretch yoga" into a place of profound wisdom. Swami Radhananda presents yoga as a living system that we can engage with every day, a journey of continuous learning and growth. Sharing examples from her own life and the keen observations from over thirty years of teaching yoga, Living the Practice explores how yoga can be applied to our thinking, our self-image, our physical experience, and our relationships. Swami Radhananda is a compassionate guide on the yogic path, offering spiritual support in our efforts to live the practice.
