Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lela Davidson doesn't like to brag, but her children are clean and fed, her husband likes to cook, and she is rarely referred to as Troll Toes at the yoga studio. In other words, she's got it all. WHO PEED ON MY YOGA MAT? peels back the curtain on family life to show that happiness is really a matter of perspective. Between watching adorably annoying toddlers transform into text-obsessed teens, and facing inevitable moments of marital "for worse," a girl's got to carve out time for inner peace. As she did in BLACKLISTED FROM THE PTA, Davidson shows us once again that laughing at yourself and your family is the surest path to tranquility- or at least the most fun.

Download or read book Under the Yoga Mat written by Els Coenen and published by Izzard Ink. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s face and share the pain. This groundbreaking exposé, Under the Yoga Mat, lifts the veil on the underexposed dark side of the history of Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini Yoga and his revered 3HO Healthy, Happy, Holy community. This is the first book presenting the multifaceted character and extent of the wrongdoings and the tactics used by 3HO leadership to keep the horrific abuse hidden for five decades. This meticulously researched non-fiction work delves deep into the disturbing tragedies that unfolded when Harbhajan, a 39-year-old Sikh-born Indian customs officer, arrived in Los Angeles in 1968, posing as a master of Kundalini Yoga. Through a thoughtful selection of testimonies, historical records, and expert insights, this work unravels the captivating rise of Yogi Bhajan, as disillusioned American youth eagerly embraced him as the Eastern guru they believed they needed. As his following grew rapidly, he wove a narrative of destiny, proclaiming that his devotees were predestined to guide humanity in the transition from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age. Yet, behind the facade of spiritual enlightenment, Bhajan cunningly manipulated, controlled, exploited, and abused his followers and their children. He was involved in drug and arms smuggling and fraudulent businesses. Throughout his reign, Yogi Bhajan hobnobbed with the powerful, including encounters with presidents, popes, and the Dalai Lama. The governors of California and New Mexico became his confidants, unaware of the web of deception he spun. Under his leadership, billion-dollar enterprises like Yogi Tea and Akal Security flourished. Such was the influence of this enigmatic figure that upon his passing in 2004, the American Congress honored him with a two-page resolution, while New Mexico inaugurated the “Yogi Bhajan Memorial Highway.” However, it wasn’t until the early 2020s, when a former leader of the 3HO community came forward with her testimony, that the truth began to emerge from decades of silence. Under the Yoga Mat reveals the harrowing experiences of hundreds of ex-3HO members, shedding light on the isolation, neglect, hunger, and abuse they endured in schools in India from a tender age. Shockingly, it is estimated that Yogi Bhajan sexually abused approximately 100 women, justifying his actions with the chilling statement, “Rape is always invited.” At the heart of this extraordinary book lie the stories of these courageous 3HO survivors. Coenen’s masterful narrative not only exposes the crimes themselves but also explores why a culture of silence persisted for so long, engendering fear and obedience among the followers. As the shadows of the past give way to the truth, their accounts serve as a rallying cry for justice and healing. With its compelling blend of investigative research, personal testimonies, and historical context, Under the Yoga Mat challenges our perception of spiritual leaders, champions the resilience of survivors, and sparks a critical conversation about power, manipulation, and the darker side of spiritual movements.

Each chapter is accompanied by helpful "OMwork" to translate these concepts into reality. Abundant illustrations accentuate the text, and a "savvy sources" section encourages further exploration.
Download or read book Pop Culture Yoga written by Kristen C. Blinne and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop Culture Yoga: A Communication Remix was born out of a series of questions about the paradoxical nature of yoga: How do individuals and groups define yoga? What does it mean to “practice yoga,” and what does this practice involve? What are some of the most important principles, guidelines, or philosophical tenets of yoga that shape people’s definitions and practices? Who has the power and authority to define yoga? What are the limits, if any, of shared definitions of yoga? Kristen C. Blinne explores the myriad ways “yoga” is communicatively constructed and defined in and through popular culture in the United States. In doing so, Blinne offers insight into the many identity work processes in play in the construction of yoga categories, illuminating how individuals’ and groups’ words and actions represent practices of claiming—part of a complex communicative process centered around membership categorization—based on a range of authenticity discourses. Employing popular culture writing styles, Blinne ultimately contends that the majority of yoga styles practiced in the United States are remixes that can be classified as pop culture yoga, a distinct way of understanding this complex phenomenon.

Download or read book Find Yourself written by Edyth Luper and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlightenment is nothing like you think it will be. Yoga is not the destination - it's only the first step. This is a punchy, first-person account of the path to Enlightenment in contemporary times. Explored through conversation, story, jokes, and vision, it embraces with honesty the hardship and humor required to wake up before you get there. This is an insightful, tough, funny yoga-based book that picks up where almost all yoga books leave off. Regular yoga practice is the first step on the path to awakening. It is not the destination. This book is aimed at everyone who is ready to wake up and start living their dream. It hands the power to create the life you want back to you. An advocate for change, the book asks you to stop making excuses as to why you can't have what you want to have. Instead, it asks you to look at why you want what you think you want and what you might need to let go of in order to achieve it. But this book is not about quick fixes. No amount of visualizing a big bank account is going to fill yours without you being aligned to your True Self and acting with clear intention. It is as much a book for people wanting change in their lives as it is for experienced yogis/yoginis looking to deepen their practice or take the next step towards Awakening.
