Practicing yoga is an invitation to live up to our potential as human beings. So our mat becomes a catalyst for transformation. When we assume a yoga pose, it is not necessarily the shape of the body that counts. Rather, it is a chance to create an offering of the highest intention in our hearts. Practicing becomes our path, as we grow not just older, but better, wiser and stronger. We become so much more, both for ourselves and for those we love, every time we surrender to something greater, like Grace. Grace is in many ways reflective of the attitude we bring to the mat. It is the difference between a yoga practice that leaves you radically transformed and an exercise class. It’s the difference between feeling full of hope and potential, or feeling like a schmuck. Our attitude creates the distinction between growing better, wiser and stronger on the mat, or afraid that we’re going to die every time we bend over. “In the beginning,” the author explains, “I did not know that I needed Grace. After all, I had gone through the better part of my life without anything nearly looking like Grace. You should see me dance or sing. Oh my God! A goose suffering an epileptic attack would describe my attempts at being graceful. I would never be mistaken for a soul sister. “Then one day on my mat, struggling for the millionth time to touch my toes, I gave up. I said, ‘To hell with it.’ And that’s when it happened. The tension in my body released and I lowered down another six inches toward the floor. I got so excited I almost pulled a hamstring. All the years I had been practicing yoga I thought what I needed to touch my toes and to get better in general was more effort. But in fact, I needed more Grace.” Living with ease is Grace. Living with forgiveness and acceptance is Grace. Taking the good with the bad is Grace. Saying “yes” first, rather than “no,” is Grace. Trying new experiences with a light heart is Grace. Knowing that we are filled with forgiveness just because we were born is Grace. You will need equal parts of redemption and emancipation to find transformation, which is not easy. “Today,” the author explains, “I am stronger and more vibrant than ever before. I hauled my tired old ass out of a steep depression to live a better life. I hope to make the second half of my life my best achievement yet. The journey begins with Grace.”

Practicing yoga is an extremely popular way to get fit, but its underlying philosophy can offer so much more to focus the mind and help you to discover untapped personal power. In Beyond the Mat, business leader, physician, and certified yoga instructor Julie Rosenberg shows you how to bring yoga out of the studio and into your personal and professional life. She shares how yoga is more than just poses (though those do help with backs tired from slumping in front of computers all day), with a clear explanation of the underlying principles, real-life examples, and anecdotes from her own life and professional career. Yoga's philosophical principles extend far beyond the mat and form a framework to support your overall well-being, achieve success, and become a more effective leader.

Yoga’s Ancient Wisdom Can Transform Your Work Life Everyone knows that yoga helps reduce stress and increase the body’s flexibility and strength. But the physical aspects barely scratch the surface of yoga’s transformative powers. The poses are only one part of a larger philosophy offering profound insights for confronting the complexities of daily life. Yoga can help you remain centered, compassionate, positive, and sane every hour of the day—especially those between nine and five. This unprecedented guide shows how practicing the full range of yogic concepts—the traditional “Eight Limbs of Yoga”—leads to a productive, creative, and energizing work environment and features examples from professions like law enforcement, teaching, banking, filmmaking, medicine, and many more. But beyond that, this book is an invitation to use all of yoga’s teachings to cultivate the spark of the divine that dwells within each of us. “Filled with personal insights and stories that carry yoga into the world of daily decision making.... It is wonderful to see the foundations of practice brought to life in such a confident, sincere, and thoughtful way.” —Pandit Rajmani Tuganait, Chairman and spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute “Maren and Jamie show that yoga is not just about poses—the practice is about creating the stillness of mind that will allow you do the work you were meant to do. Seriously, read this book!” —Russell Simmons, cofounder of Def Jam “The [Showkeirs] bring the deepest teachings of yoga alive by showing exactly how to bring our yoga—and our best selves—into the world.” —Judith Lasater, PhD, author of Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times

My mother used to chant in Sanskrit in her study before sunrise every morning. Though she died when I was 16—22 years ago—I always hear her voice that way. Off-key, but strangely hypnotic, the language both complicated and pure, reverberating around our house. For a kid growing up in Southern Ohio — Bible belt country — the sound was both alluring and repellent. "What's your mother doing?" my friends would ask. "Being a weirdo," I told them. And so encapsulates the coming of age story of Sasha Brown, a transplanted tween plunked in the middle of the Bible Belt with a macrobiotic hippy mom and a ribs-eating dad. A writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan, Brown's prose is heartfelt and hilarious, revealing her quest to find her way as two worlds collide. While other moms were at Bible study, her mom was studying Sanskrit; while other were finding friendship at Tupperware parties, her mom was finding enlightenment at the ashram. And when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she chose a healthy diet and yoga over aggressive chemo. When her mother died, Brown ran as far away from yoga as she could until a running injury left her needing the very thing she was running from. It was there—on the mat—that she processed her grief and found her mother again. As she went deeper into the poses, she discovered she was more like her mother than she thought. Through it all, she found a deeper understanding of the practice, of the breath, and of the life her mother lost too young. The practice that once seemed easy and slow compared to pounding the pavement in a new pair of Asics became the biggest challenge of her life. She learned that yoga is so much more than asana. So much more than breath. So much more than perfect poses. The "union" of yoga became one of heart and mind, and finally, with that maternal energy Sasha had been missing for so many years. In the space that she focused her mind and pushed her body to its breaking point was where she would see her mother. In the space of her yoga mat, she and her mother connect across time. Namaste the Hard Way is an ode to the timeless bond between mothers and daughters. Plucky and poignant, Namaste the Hard Way is for anyone who didn't want to walk in their mother's shoes (or sandals).

A catchy title is the first example of the creative use of metaphors which fill Taking Yoga Off the Mat, by Jenni Carmichael Clark. The philosophy is simple, "We can do hard things ON the mat. So, we can also do hard things when we roll it up and leave. We can handle challenges ON the mat, and we can handle what we face OFF the mat as well." While it may sound like a book written for yoga enthusiasts, every chapter introduces imaginative concepts which have universal application. Some messages refer to specific yoga poses where Jenni provides ideas on how to apply the exercise principles in day-to-day life. In the Chapter, Get Your Ticket for The Happiness Express, Jenni pulls back the curtain to the most common, yet elusive, trait we are all seeking... happiness... and shows its relation to (you guessed it) ...yoga! "I have heard it said that 'Happiness is a decision, not an occurrence.' That it's something you choose. No matter what comes at you, you can decide whether to allow it to thwart your joy or strengthen your spirit. That Finding Joy is not the same as Living in Joy. I learn that in my yoga practice. No matter what pose I am faced with, or how difficult/easy it might be, I can determine how to react and manage the challenges it presents. I can choose my response. And I can take that decision off the mat every time I walk back into the world." --Taking Yoga Off the Mat pg. 103 In the chapter titled, Taking Child's Pose... Inconceivable! Jenni uses multiple (surprisingly fitting) references from the story, Princess Bride, to show how something perceived as a simpler stretch, the Child's Pose, is much more complex than it appears. Jenni explains, "Child's Pose actually takes me deeper. It gives me a chance to reset, reflect, meditate, and get ready for what comes next in my own time. To find my breath and go deeper inside myself." Many themes throughout the book speak to the heart of a mother, high-five an adventurer, honor the curiosity and wonderment of a child, and encourage bravery and resilience. Jenni is promoting what she often calls her "Disney Philosophy," which is to Believe in Impossible Things, Have Courage & Be Kind, and Do The Next Right Thing. As Walt Disney said, "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward--opening new doors and doing new things--because we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths!" Jenni echoes these words of Walt Disney and exclaims, "that's my Alice 'Muchness' philosophy in a nutshell!" From the beginning in the Author's Note, readers will discover a kindred spirit in Jenni Carmichael Clark. It is as if Jenni has always been the best friend you turn to for encouragement, when you need a good laugh, or are hungry for a reminder that despite all of its adversity, life is a fascinating and worthwhile adventure! In the chapter titled, What's Next? Jenni brings her readers to the ice rink and reminds them that, "Despite bumps in the ice that cause you to take a tumble or two, the skating is amazing!" Towards the end of her book, Jenni gives the compassionate encouragement we all need, "I know firsthand that stars shine more brilliantly in the deep darkness. I've huddled in the dark and gazed at them up there, twinkling. We just do the work and then we let it go--in class and in life. On the mat and off of it." Jenni began writing reflective essays and thoughts in a blog she started in 2013 called My Own Little Corner by Jenni (myownlittlecornerbyJenni.Wordpress.com). As she found clarity and grace on her yoga mat, Jenni decided to share more of these themes in her first book, Taking Yoga Off the Mat. Learn more at www.TakingYogaOffTheMat.com
