A Life Worth Breathing ─ A Yoga Master's Handbook of Strength, Grace, and Healing

One man described his life to Max Strom, founder of one of L.A.'s most renowned yoga centers, as follows: "In the morning, I can't wake up; in the day, I am bored; in the evening, I am tired; and at night, I cannot sleep." As a yoga teacher, Max understands that each person has his or her own struggles--that we set up our own roadblocks--and he could easily suggest poses or a physical practice to help find a life worth breathing. In this in- spiring book, however, he looks beyond the often-written-about philosophies of yoga to what he sees as the purpose of this practice: to help with the journey within. Yoga offers the tools, but each person's jail is a little different. He encourages readers to focus not on the tools, but on the endeavor. He reveals how to make changes in mind, body, and emotions simultaneously. The result is a new state of being: a life with meaning, a life full of love, a life worth breathing.
