Live your yoga every day of the year

I bought A Year of Living Your Yoga, a little jewel of a book written by Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., P.T.  at the Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park, Colorado, last year after I had the pleasure of going to one of her restorative yoga workshops. Okay, I was a little starstruck. Judith Lasater is one of my favorite teachers, and I’m a big fan of restorative yoga if you haven’t noticed already from my other posts. I can’t say enough about how restorative yoga has changed and shaped my life, and I’m planning to become a certified Rest & Relax Restorative Yoga Teacher next February when Judith visits Salt Lake City and teams up with Charlotte Bell for a 20-hour teacher training. I can’t count the days on my calendar fast enough.

A Year of Living Your Yoga is a precious compilation of daily practices and quotes that will inspire and shape your life. This little book graces my yoga room and I read a passage every day before I start my practice. For example, today’s passage renews us with the value of wonder: 

If you want to understand wonder, look at the face of a child closely examining a bug. Living your yoga: Losing touch with your wonder is sad. Wonder perfectly combines curiosity, gratitude, and presence. Today find something to observe in wonder: a flower, the sky, a tree, and notice how this reconnects you with life (A Year of Living Your Yoga, August 16, 2009)

Every day graces us with a lesson on how to live life through the practice of yoga, on and off the mat. Consider adding this little gem to your yoga library and become inspired by Judith’s wisdom. Buy your copy now by clicking here.
