Campbell Macpherson
£14.99
Kogan Page
Yoga is a powerful tool to help us accept change. By slowing the mind and connecting us to the present, it sets us up with the emotional resilience and space to deal with uncertainty. And that’s a great skill to have for our general wellbeing — embracing change is probably the must-have skill for 2020 and beyond! This new book by change expert and professional speaker, Campbell Macpherson, helps readers deliver their own change, by breaking down our natural reactions and demonstrating how we can challenge them. It includes practical tips to harness change and make it work for us, including the power of yoga for helping to build resilience and overcome barriers to change.

Guruji BKS Iyengar (1918-2014) is recognised as one of the most inspiring and influential teachers of yoga and is widely credited with popularising yoga across the world. This new book is a fascinating collection of intimate, previously unpublished photographs of the man himself practicing and instructing students, combined with personal first-hand accounts from his early students, many of whom have gone on to teach Iyengar Yoga to future generations. One of those students was Julia Pedersen, the book’s author, who went on to study with the Iyengars in India in 1976. She currently teaches in Sydney at Glebe Iyengar Yoga. The book includes a foreword by Geeta S Iyengar, with photographs by Georg and Julia Pedersen.
