Book excerpt: Yoga’s restorative power is revealed in this “uplifting” memoir about finding “an oasis of peace in the midst of crises large and small” (Publishers Weekly). At the age of fifty, author, parenting expert, and Huffington Post blogger Kathryn E. Livingston thought everything in her life would click into place. Instead, she felt like she was falling apart. She was consumed by panic and anxiety, neglecting her body, always expecting the worst. Until her discovery of yoga helped her find peace. This is a memoir about two transformative years in Kathryn’s life, an account of her relationship with a compassionate teacher who taught her to trust herself and the universe, even while facing the death of her parents, her children leaving home for college, and breast cancer. It’s about recognizing the mind-body connection and finding the way back to mental and physical health. The story of how yoga weaves its magic throughout a woman’s life, yoga aficionados and beginners alike, as well as anyone who has ever faced tragedy head on, will benefit from Kathryn’s journey. Above all, Yin, Yang, Yogini is a memoir about reinvention, with yoga as the backdrop for change—a blueprint for evolving in midlife and in midstride, learning to let go of the past, and living with trust in the present moment.
Download or read book Yin Yang Yogini Advance Review Copy written by Kathryn E. Livingston and published by Premier Digital Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a neurotic boomer mom meets a svelte young yoga teacher someone has to transform, and you can bet it won't be the foxy yogini with the starburst on her sacrum. Yin Yang Yogini is Eat Pray Love for moms who can't (or won't) jump on an airplane and fly to Bali, for women who are grounded (at least temporarily) in and by motherhood, for women (and men) who must find their spiritual enlightenment in their own backyard. Yin Yang Yogini is a memoir that will speak to women; to those who are dealing with anxiety issues and disorders (eighteen percent of the US population, and twice as many women as men), to those who have children, to boomers (70 million) to women diagnosed with breast cancer (one in eight) and to those who practice yoga (20 million Americans and the number is growing). This is a memoir about a transformational two years of Kathryn's life, a time in which she learned to trust herself and the universe, even while facing such issues as the death of her parents, her children leaving home for college, panic and anxiety issues, and breast cancer. Although breast cancer and yoga may seem to be unlikely partners, studies have shown that yoga improves the well being of women treated for early stage breast cancer, and yoga is increasingly recognized for its effects on various ailments ranging from depression to heart disease and autoimmune diseases. Yin Yang Yogini is a memoir about transformation through yoga, with yoga as the backdrop for change, a story of how one can evolve in mid-life and in mid-stride, of how one can learn to let go of the past, let go of fear, and live with trust in the present moment. Kathryn's story is heartfelt, humorous (Kathryn was a yoga skeptic so this is not simply an ode to yoga), and timely. Yoga is spreading like wildflowers these days-but not everyone realizes that this ancient practice holds the key to balance, strength, and inner peace in our contemporary world. Kathryn's journey of self-discovery, awakening, and healing will speak to women (and especially to mothers) everywhere. It will also so speak to anyone who has faced anxiety issues or a serious disease, such as cancer. Yin Yang Yogini is about finding courage, strength, and happiness within.

Illustrated with striking red/black graphics that make the concepts more accessible. The concept of yin yang can be found in some of the oldest writing in the world. It is fundamental to Chinese thought and the route to understanding most Chinese practices, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Daoism and feng shui. It also offers us ways of enhancing our own lives, establishing greater balance not only in our own environment but also in the wider world if we can work with other people to follow nature's flow. The central question of the book is "What is yin yang?" Step by step, with plenty of helpful illustrations and graphics, it explores the history and changing uses of yin yang - not forgetting the pronunciation and spelling (why yinyang is actually better than yin yang). The book also makes suggestions for working with yin yang, from observing the landscape to get a sense of the ebb and flow of energy through the world, to studying the patterns of nature in order to take what you need but not too much, to approaching sex as a cosmic ritual. After reading this book, readers will understand how to position themselves so that yin yang fills their lives with abundance - how to be in the right place at the right time.
