Yoga Themes — The Thread That Runs Through
Su Sareen
£14.00
Self-published
Yoga teacher and author Su Sareen has just published her second book, following the success of her debut title, ‘See How Yoga Feels’. The new release, ‘Yoga Themes: The Thread That Runs Through’ offers a collection of fully-illustrated themes for yoga teachers planning lessons and anyone practicing on their own. It’s a bit unlike other yoga books in that it’s not about any particular asanas and there’s no Sanskrit, gurus, belief systems or schools of yoga. It is a book about the experience of practicing yoga — from the inside. It’s more about the feelings, attention and focus you get during practice. Also available as an ebook/kindle, priced £5. Available on Amazon.
