Warrior, salute / the sun! and be thankful for / the path's unity. ("Mindfulness Yoga")
Formatting is complete on "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories". Virtually everything is finished, so the next step is to upload everything to the aggregating site, then we can start the pre-release hype-train!
For today's Goodreads' #MyYearInBooks, I present "Mindfulness Yoga: Awakened Union of Breath, Body, and Mind" by Frank Jude Boccio. This book combines the physical practice of asana yoga with the spiritual side of Buddhism, and has transformed my meditation practices with the inclusion of a daily yoga routine. "Mindfulness Yoga" combs over the Buddha's teachings, then details any asana you could think of with helpful breakdowns on how to perform the poses and how they relate to the dharma. While I still enjoy cultivating sit-down meditation, this habit has been absorbed into a larger yoga practice.
If you are a yoga-mom or a secular practitioner, this book paves the middle way for unifying these two systems of mindfulness, insight and serenity. Well worth the read even if you only have a small interest in either mindfulness or wellness.
