“A stimulating exploration of the Yoga Sutras as not only a classic Yoga text, but one that holds secrets to waking up in the here and now so you can truly embrace all of life. Friedmann skillfully explains the traditional teachings while encouraging you to drop preconceptions and to look again more deeply as a way of assimilating the age-old wisdom of this seminal text, finding clarity, calm, and strength in daily life. A must for students and practitioners of all levels!

–Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor, Freeman + Taylor Yoga and authors of When Love Comes to Light: Bringing Wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita Into Modern Life

“With wisdom, grace and humor, Carroll Ann Friedmann gives us the clear message that spiritual practice is accessible to everyone. Her storytelling guides us through the cherished Yoga Sutras towards an understanding of spiritual transformation through everyday practices, discipline and love. Friedmann invites every one of us to find our own connection between the inner work of personal growth, and the outer work of living life, day-to-day, while finding our own path towards peace and liberation.”
