The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself (New Harbinger/Noetic Books) 44 reviews
Michael A. Singer
New Harbinger Publications/ Noetic Books, 2007
Thank You Sir
I've read my share of spiritual guidance; from D.T. Suzuki, right on up through Eckhardt Tolle, and I've also sat before a number of today's popular teachers. There is nothing else like this to be found.
It's the keys to the castle...
an instruction manual detailing the moment by moment experience of the psyche on the path of purification in pursuit of self realization. He is offering the ...

The Stranger 527 reviews
Albert Camus
Vintage, 1989
American translation brings out stylistic subtleties
(This is a review of the Matthew Ward translation; black an dwhite cover)
This is a newish translation, done by an American rather than the British translation that had previously been the only English version of this French classic. It seems Camus was heavily influenced by American literature of the period -- Hemmingway, Faulkner and others -- and had written The Stranger, the first half ...

Light on Yoga: The Bible of Modern Yoga... 83 reviews
B. K. S. Iyengar
Schocken, 1995
If you have one comprehensive book on yoga this should be it.
This book generally shows the progression of the poses from beginner to advanced. You will not be talked down to in this book. I like having more information then I need so that I can reference back and progress when I'm ready.

Anatomy Coloring Book
I purchased both this and the Physiology Coloring Book and they are great! Not only does coloring in the images reinforce what I'm studying, but the text portion (explanations) are added bonuses. I highly recommend both.

T. K. V. Desikachar

An Amazing Resource
I have used this book both a teacher and a student. I use this book for all our teacher training programs with huge success. This is a gem of a book. A necessary read for students and teacher's of Vinyasa. Having practiced at the KYM mandiram and having met Desikachar makes this book even more amazing as he is a living vibration of this book.

Back Care Basics: A Doctor's Gentle Yoga Program for Back and Neck Pain Relief32 reviews
Mary Pullig Schatz
Rodmell Press, 1992
Great Resource for Teachers and Students Alike
I notice that a few reviewers have mentioned they found exercises in the book too easy and it's true that the book is geared toward those who may be recovering from injury and/or are new to yoga. That said, as a yoga instructor and long-time practitioner I've found this book to be a wonderful resource. In fact, some of the poses in the book have become staples in my lesson plans (and in my own ...

Surpassed expectations
I purchased this CD for dual use: for my clients, and for my children. I was hopeful that it would be useful, but since I know I am quite critical of relaxation/imagery CDs given my expertise as an art therapist, psychologist, hypnotherapist who creates imagery, and conducts relaxation training, I didn't expect to be as impressed as I was. Not only did kids like it, but wanted to listen to it ...
