If anything, it points to a way of living effortlessly that is free and harmonious, that is, to the essence of mindfulness and non-duality.

For anyone intimidated by crowded yoga classes, complicated textbooks, headstands, or simply touching their toes, Yoga for Real People offers a year of classes that progress from beginning to intermediate to advanced levels of practice. A down-to-earth guide for yoga teachers and students alike, this book is illustrated throughout with more than 160 photographs correctly demonstrating 100 poses. Each lesson begins with a discussion of an important yogic concept, before presenting a posture to build flexibility and strength, followed by a meditation to inspire mental relaxation and spiritual growth. As students build a routine, they learn to first "do" the postures, then "experience" the postures, and finally "become" the postures. The appendix includes a complete list of the postures along with a helpful summary of the benefits. Jan Baker's gentle and encouraging style teaches readers how to listen to their bodies, how to stretch without strain, and, most of all, how to find joy in all things. As she writes in the introduction, "If you want to live longer, be healthier, more peaceful - yoga has the answer. How long does it take to accomplish this? That's up to you."

"We see our lives full of distress and on the other side we see Krishna playing his flute and dancing". Since time immemorial, the magnificent and excellent guidance of the Bhagavad Gita has charmed the truth-seekers all over the world. . Yet its deepest meaning has remained vague. Corporate trainer, coach and spiritual guru Shashank Kasliwal has beautifully brought out the spirit of Krishna’s Gita by connecting its characters to the human mind. The different personalities Gita talks about symbolises the various mental and emotional states a seeker can relate to. Kasliwal’s the Essence of Gita discusses, with recommended sadhnas and meditations, the key to awaken the sleeping consciousness. There is an ongoing war, Mahabharata, in our mind that is turning the body into a battleground, the Kurukshetra to reclaim bliss. Using Krishna’s wisdom as a launch pad, Kasliwal brings to life words that have the power to change the way we see the world, change the way we see religion and above all, change the way we are. No animal feels the suffering because they are utterly contented as they are. Man is the only animal who is fundamentally unhappy. Hence, the feeling of disgrace – because he knows, he can be free. "We have been treading on the wrong path because we have not found the right one for us." -Shashank Kasliwal
