Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Yamas and Niyamas are the foundational principles of all yogic thought. They are like a detailed map that helps you navigate your life and reach your goals. They are not restrictive rules, but rather guidelines that help you live a well-lived and joyful life.#2 The final five jewels are purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and acceptance. They are an invitation to clean up our act so we can be more available to the qualities in life that we are seeking.#3 The 10 principles of yoga are devotion, trust, and active engagement. Through devotion, trust, and active engagement, we can receive each moment with an open heart. Surrender is an invitation to go with the underlying current, enjoy the ride, and take in the view.
