DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book will empower you to become more engaged in your moment-to-moment experiences, changing the way you show up everyday in your body and life. The body speaks we are just not listening. Doing less and being more is a health secret-actually slowing down long enough to reconnect and align with the body and its infinite intelligence and possibilities. There is so much research pointing towards interoception (feeling inside yourself) mindfulness (actually being in the moment vs. mind wandering) movement and relaxation as medicine for the body, mind and spirit. This book will provide insight into the way stress effects the body and how we can use the practice of yoga including, mindful movement, breathing, meditation, self massage, reflection, embodied anatomy and interospection to change the way we exist in our bodies and lives; turning our postures to prayers and movement as medicine.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In The Art of Stillness, Iyer draws on the lives of well-known wanderer-monks like Cohen--as well as from his own experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most of his time in rural Japan--to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people--even those with no religious commitment--seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to rediscover the wisdom of an earlier age."--Publisher's description.
