A few months after having Brijin, I finally read a fiction book again. For those of you who have small children, you understand how difficult it is to fit a small pleasure like reading a novel into your life.
To multitask, I read Enlightenment for Idiots; not only was it about yoga but was silly and entertaining like a beach novel. A perfect combo for this yoga teacher / gossip magazine addict (I actually don't have any subscriptions anymore, but my friends keep giving me their old copies of USWeekly and People. What's a girl to do? It's recycling.).
The author, Anne Cushman of Enlightenment, contacted me via this blog and said she'd give me a copy of her book to give away to one of you. So tell me about your favorite yoga book, fiction or nonfiction, now.
I'm also giving the copy of the book Cushman gave directly to me away at the grand opening of Yoga Patch at 7108 Wornall Rd., Kansas City, Mo., next Friday, July 31. Read more about Yoga Patch, the new studio I'll be teaching at beginning August 10 (see the schedule).

I don't have any yoga books since I'm so new at this. Perhaps I should find a good one to start with, ya?

Unfortunately, I don't have any books concerning yoga, either--this one looks like a great one to start with! Thanks!

I love Gurmukh Khalsa and her Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful really helped me through my second pregnancy and preparation for HBAC. She is such a centering influence.

Heh heh! "Enlightenment for Idiots". The title alone makes me want to read it. I love books - especially yoga books (perhaps a bit addicted...)
My most recent favourite is YinSights by Bernie Clark. It's a look at Yin yoga but more than that. I like how Bernie goes into all different aspects of yoga (history, asanas, energy, mind) and looks at them from different perspectives - both Eastern and Western points of view.
Highly recommended!
I love Enlightenment for Idiots, and have been hoping the author will write another one with motherhood in the plot! I can't think of another yoga book specifically that I like, but I like Buddhism for Mothers and Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children, both my Sarah Napthali. Thanks-
I haven't read many books about yoga about this one looks like one I'd definitely pick up. I have read Eat, Pray, Love and really enjoyed it. My favorite segment of the author's trip was her time spent in India studying yoga.
Thanks for all the comments so far everyone.
One more week left until the drawing. :) Keep 'em coming!
Found your blog by chance and I love it so far. Would love to have some reading material like this as I am 32 weeks pregnant and waiting to get moving again!
