Have you ever read a book that just sticks with you long after you finished reading it? Sometimes it’s a short story or a character novel that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. And sometimes the books you read can truly transform your perspective and your life. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, maybe you already have a yoga book or two that has transformed your experience. These types of books can influence how you think about your practice each time you get on your mat and maybe even give you a new way to think about life off the mat as well.

For the teachers at Serenity, we probably each have at least two or three (or more!) specific yoga books that have dramatically shaped our practice and our teachings. And today, in honor of World Book Day, we want to share our favorites with you!

You already know yoga is good for you. You may have even tried it a few times and felt the benefits! Maybe you got excited and told yourself this is going to be your new healthy routine! You may have even said, “I’ll definitely practice tomorrow!” And then...life happens. You have so many things on your to-do list that you never seem to get on your mat.

You are not alone - every single person that practices yoga has gone through this exact thing. In this blog Michele shares her tried and tested steps to start a consistent yoga practice with confidence and excitement so you can better experience the benefits of yoga in order to live a more balanced and happy life.

Steve Sampson guest blogs on Serenity’s Website in order to take a deeper look at what you will generally experience in a yin or restorative yoga class. While both forms of practice are similar in that they are relatively slow and passive practices, there are some differences in the intent behind that stillness.
