"This is such a great book. Very easy to read and gave me a great deal of peace and much better understanding of my Yoga practice and where I was (am) going with it. I believe it is a must read for anyone trying to establish a regular practice or even just thinking about it."
"Whether you are becoming a yoga teacher, or exploring the possibilities of yoga in your life, this book is an essential means of support and solution. It awakens not only the body but the mind to the possibilities available if one choose to adopt even one of the yogic principals. What is important to consider when reading this book, is that time takes time. Incorporating yoga into ones life takes time. Genuine and ideally consistent application will yield great results."
"This is actually my third reading of this Fahri title - last time I read this one was during my YTT training in 2008, and I packed it for a recent month in Santa Fe (spent in residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute) wherein I was (on the side of writing :) studying yoga with some of the most amazing teachers I've ever worked with.
What I have to say on third reading is that Donna Fahri never ceases to amaze me. When a teacher's voice comes from a place that signals that they've committed to nothing other than being a lifelong student, I'm in. And I think Fahri is the most expressive yoga student in publication. She knows how to break down the things we thinks of as mechanics in terms of their energetic significance - the writing itself is often yogic.
Bringing Yoga to Life, one of her many titles, explores the issues surrounding the establishment and maintenance of a practice - of taking responsibility for one's own discipline, and understanding what we are actually yoking ourselves to. It's not a motivational treatise so much as a close study of the push-pull within human devotion and daily living. There's some yogic philosophy underneath the guiding tone of the book, but there's also just a lot of really true teaching that any practitioner could benefit from. This time around, I was most struck by her exclamation on p. 43:
"Daily practice provides a context in which we can gradually awaken to ourselves as we are. Daily practice should not be construed as a chronological progression toward a new and improved self, or our practice time will be fraught with subtle self-aggression. Water and ice are of the same substance but of different freedoms.""
