Honing the ancient tools of yoga’s philosophy in entirely modern ways, this book is part memoir, part thought leadership, part toolkit for modern living. Accessible, deep, darkly humorous and inspiring.
“Classic wisdom of the East in an entirely modern package. Swami Jaya Devi is an urban female mystic who inspires us to choose empowerment, curiosity and truth so we can fully embody the depth and range of our innermost heart.”
