"The more you learn about yoga, the more you realize that it touches every aspect of life. In fact, it's a way of life -one that exists well beyond the studio. The principles of the practice show up in unexpected ways in your routines, relationships, even within the pages of some less-than-obvious yoga books."
"The path of creativity is paved with self-awareness and attention. Music producer Rick Rubin knows this well, and his musings on the creative process are full of spiritual wisdom very much aligned with yogic philosophy. Ultimately, Rubin's book reminds you that your daily life is art, habits matter, and showing up mindfully through each moment is a sure way to catalyze your creativity."
"If you're a seeker, you've likely come across The Snow Leopard. The memoir finds Matthiessen, a zen Buddhist, and biologist George Schaller exploring the Himalayas, their physical quest serving as a vehicle for a spiritual one. Matthiessen's insights touch on existence, authenticity, awe, presence, meditation, and more."
Yoga functions as a way of life that extends beyond the studio and influences routines, relationships, and reading choices. The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali stands as a seminal text, yet subsequent centuries produced many works that explore yogic ideas. Books need not be explicitly about yoga to embody its principles. Examples include a creativity guide that frames daily life as art through self-awareness and attention, a Himalayan memoir that uses a physical journey to probe existence and meditation, and a romantasy that incorporates daily meditation and physical training as part of character growth. Twelve unexpected titles highlight mindfulness, vinyasa, and yogic philosophy.
