YOGA MIND, PEACEFUL MIND.

What is a “yoga mind?” And how can it help calm anxiety, heal painful thoughts, soothe stress, and bring a lasting sense of well-being? Many have heard of the myriad health benefits of practicing yoga, but are unsure of the physical demands commonly associated with postures. In Yoga Mind, Peaceful Mind, two seasoned yoga teachers present gentle meditations to help readers overcome anxiety and stress so they can live a more enjoyable life. Furthermore, the book's emphasis on yoga's contemplative tradition—rather than postures (or, asanas)—makes it perfect for people from all walks of life, including those with physical disabilities. Each of the meditations provides an inspirational quote, a discussion of teachings and instructions from the yoga tradition, and affirmations to remember and live by every day. Mary NurrieStearns, LCSW, RYT, is a psychotherapist and yoga teacher with a counseling practice in Tulsa, OK.
