The Science of Yoga ~ September Inspirational Book Club ~ Sept. 17th

In September the Inspirational Book Club will discuss one of the most recent controversial yoga books of the last few years. If you haven't read it..you should! If you want to vent (because you know we all have our opinions about yoga as evident by the infamous NY times article and others) come join us for our discussion! 

Join me for a vinyasa yoga class at 7pm followed by discussion of The Science of Yoga at 8:20pm. If you can't make the yoga class, join the group for the book's discussion at 8:20pm.

Also, become a member of the Goodreads Inspirational Book Club Group to share feedback and ideas...but most importantly to see the list of options for future books the group can choose from to read. So many great book ideas...one location to peruse for your next vote!  

We have an incredible community brewing where we are discussing and sharing insights while noshing on some yummy treats. It has been a tremendous amount of fun meeting new like minded individuals in the community. Although we are similar in the sense we each want to embark on transformation, understand a deeper sense of community and engage in discussion, we are each unique and bring a beautiful, different perspective to the discussion.

Where: Shine wellness studio
Date: Tuesday, Sep 17th
Book Club: 8:20 pm
Bring: A snack & insights to share

I am excited to take this reading adventure with you! If you have any recommendations for future book club themes, please let me know!

Reviews on the The Science of Yoga

“Yoga, an ancient practice with millions of modern practitioners, has been the subject of overheated speculation and grandiose claims; it has been dismissed without warrant as well, under appreciated by some who might well benefit from it. The Science of Yoga is a lucid and long overdue account of what scientists have found in their attempts to ferret out the truth about what yoga can and cannot do to heal and make better the body and mind. It is a fascinating and important book.” 

–Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind and Touched With Fire 

“If this book doesn’t motivate you to practice yoga, nothing will. Broad sheds light on yoga’s health benefits and hoaxes, covering everything from headstands to hypertension, the vagus nerve to the YogaButt. Finally I understand why I feel so good when I do yoga. His lively exploration of its evolution from Benares to Beverly Hills flows like any great practice should – with intelligence, good humor and some mindblowing insights.” 

–Priscilla Warner, author of Learning to Breathe and co-author of The Faith Club
