Downward Dogs and Warriors

A book I ordered came in. Downward Dogs and Warriors by Zo Newell. This is an interactive book offering a fresh view of using yoga stories not just enhance your asana practice, but applying yoga to your life. Zo has collected stories of Shiva and applied them to particular asanas. She tells the story, desribes the pose (good for beginners), then offers pointers for practicing and embodying the pose. Her questions to the reader are meant to be thought provoking and offer a journaling aspect to bring about a deeper sense of self.

I think this book would be particularly good for people who have emotional issues, or need guidance through a difficult transition in their life.
