Product Description
There are dozens of books that tell you where to place your heel when you do yoga, where to put your arm, how to bend your waist...This is a book that teaches where to place your heart when you do yoga. There is more to yoga than postures, and Christina Sell draws on her own experience and that of her students to produce the first book on Anusara Yoga. A beautiful book about women in yoga, finding peace and acceptance and bringing that to their lives, their bodies and their practice.

 A must-read for any yogi! July 5, 2008

This book speaks to me like none other. I am a yoga teacher and absolutely passionate about what I do. I also do not resemble the models on the covers of Yoga Journal. I have spent years dealing with eating disorder issues and body image issues and yoga has helped me immensely. No matter what I do, I will never look like those tiny, lithe yoginis and I am finally learning not to care so much. I try to bring the body awareness and acceptance that this book describes into the classes that I teach. My goal is to change the world, one yoga class, one person at a time. If I can bring yoga into someone's life who would never even think of walking into a yoga studio, then I am successful. Thank you, Christina, for a very important book, and for having the courage to bring your story and experiences to those of us with whom it resonates. Love it!

I read the reviews before I bought this book so I knew for the most part what to expect. I enjoyed reading it, and have used it as a jumping off point in my own yoga journey.

Accepting your True Self May 27, 2007

An interesting, easy to read book about yoga and accepting your true inner self. This by means of doing yoga and accepting your body as it is and not what it should be according to the outside world, where women have to look perfect, being muscular, slim and beautiful. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as the "theme" repeats itself throughout the book which get a little bit too much in the end. Nevertheless a very inspiring book, a must to have when you have body image problems.

*****
This book really spoke to me about weight issues, body acceptance, self-image, and how yoga can be used to deal with all of these. The subtitle of the book is "Making Peace with Your Body Through Yoga", and every time I read it (I've read it three times so far) this book helps me to accomplish this. I have the parts I like best highlighted and often reread them for inspiration; it is a beautifully written book.
The book focuses on a type of yoga called Anusara Yoga, but as other reviewers have said, you don't really have to be interested in yoga to benefit from the book. It's more about mindfulness, philosophy, attitude, being with feelings, and acceptance than it is yoga and yoga positions. The women modeling the poses are women of all shapes and sizes, all obviously content with their bodies and enjoying their practice.
The only part of the book I did not relate to was about having a guru, which is part of the philosophy of the author, and I just skip over those parts when I reread it. That part is peripheral, and the book is more than worth it for the rest.
Highest recommendation.
