There are many ways to teach yoga. Guiding people through various poses while reminding them to breathe deeply is probably the most common approach, but there is a lot more to yoga than postures and breath. Ultimately yoga is a journey, an exploration of the Self, and for me writing is very much a part of that. When I teach a class I attempt to share my understanding, experience and love of yoga through the physical practice. These writings are my way of doing the same through reflections, stories and poetry. I hope you enjoy them.

What is yoga, really? Who—and what—is it for? And why does it matter?
For thousands of years, yoga evolved in relative obscurity before exploding into a global phenomenon. Today it is practiced by hundreds of millions of people in almost every country on Earth, yet it is still widely misunderstood—often reduced to fitness, stress relief, or vague spirituality. In truth, yoga is far more: a sophisticated system for transforming body, mind, and our relationship to the world.
A Yogi’s Guide to Yoga cuts through the confusion with a clear, grounded exploration of yoga’s rich history, profound philosophy, and compelling science. Drawing from ancient wisdom and modern research, this book reveals how yoga works, why it matters now more than ever, and how its practices can address the physical, mental, and social challenges of modern life. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned practitioner, it offers a deeper understanding not only of what yoga is, but what it might become—in your own life and in our ever-changing world.
