You Found this Site For a Reason
Are you ready for change? Fasten your seatbelts, because ready or not, here it comes!! We are on the cusp of great change. Some would say we're right in the middle of it. The great challenge is to live gracefully in the midst of huge changes in ourselves, and in our world.
Even dedicated practitioners of yoga may be shaken to the core by all the changes currently being experienced. However, yoga is a tradition with deep roots and can still point the way for us.
Open to Change was written to encourage change-challenged, overwhelmed, or change-resistant yoga practitioners
to new levels of awareness, competence, and mastery in their practice and their
life.
If...
you have that special relationship
with yoga
you are watching the world change
and feel overwhelmed or defeated
you know deep down that you are changing but you don't really want to
you are willing to change but don't know how
you mostly just wish everything would go
back to the way it was...
This is for you. I wrote
this book because I know you're out there, and I know you need this. I am one of you. This little book has the
potential to shift your yoga practice to the next level and help you deal
with the changes you are experiencing.
Not Your Usual Yoga BookThis is not a book filled with instructions and pictures
of yoga postures. Instead, you will find thoughtful commentary, and beautiful brush-stroke images which evoke
the energy signature of the poses.
Not a Beginner's Manual This is for the medium- to long-experience practitioners who already know the basics.
Not a Sweat-FestAu
contraire. No boot camp. But make no mistake: intensity and personal advancement live here. The tools and techniques in
Open to Change are challenging and radical in their own way.
Easy on the body. Challenging to the Mind The mind is where change begins. Injury or insult to the body is not necessary.
The Missing Link With this book you can evolve
your practice and catch up to yourself — you know, the new you: the woman or
man who is emerging. The one you
don't yet recognize when you see your reflection in the mirror.
A Catalyst For AwakeningThe psychological and spiritual awakening that yoga has
always offered is the richest and sweetest part of yoga. Unfortunately, it is this very aspect
that goes unattended, even ignored, in many yoga classes throughout North America.

Like it or not, we are designed to change. Even your yoga practice will change over time. Even if you don't want it to. Perhaps especially if you don't want it to. The techniques in Open to Change: The Power of Reflection in Your Yoga
