Yoga provides invaluable tools to face life's challenges.
For me, that included breast cancer. I used my yoga practice every step of the way, and I wrote about it, hoping to help others.
While my experience was with cancer, I believe these stories and practices can help anyone, regardless of what you are going through.
"This book has a profound emotional resonance. Empathy, hope, and strength are evoked by Shaw's candid depiction of her cancer-related challenges, as well as the life-affirming influence of yoga on her recovery. Her narrative illustrates the efficacy of small, intentional acts of self-care in the preservation of emotional and spiritual resilience, in addition to physical health. It prompts readers to reevaluate their approaches to healing and motivates them to adopt mindfulness as a means of coping with the challenges of life."

"You do not need to know anything about yoga for this book to be helpful while going through and health challenge, not just cancer. While the author uses her journey thru breast cancer to anchor the yoga practices she demonstrates, I think this could help anyone thru any chronic health issue or any health struggle. The pictures are very helpful. The tone of the book is gentle and calming, and actually very comforting."
