Will Yoga & Meditation Really Change My Life: Personal Stories from 25 of North America's Leading Teachers

by: Stephen Cope

Amazon Price: $4.64 (as of 02/16/2012)

There is incredible value in hearing other people's stories. I find it easy to worry if I'm good enough. And sometimes I see where other people are and know it isn't what I want.
Besides the value in other's stories, I just find them interesting! These are stories from names I recognize as stars in the yoga and Buddhist world. It's good to see them as human. I get a feeling I know them better, which changes my relationship to them when I see them walking around at a Yoga Journal conference or catch their name in print.

The question the book poses is "Will yoga and meditation really change my life?" In my own life, I've already answered this question (it will), but what this book does is help me not worry so much about needing to think my life needs changing.

Live in Concert

Amazon Price: $11.94 (as of 02/16/2012)

Snatam Kaur recorded Live.

Recorded at concert halls, churches and yoga studios as Snatam Kaur and her ensemble traveled across North America.

These beautiful recordings were made during some North American shows on her ongoing Celebrate Peace Tour. And where many activists only talk about peace, Snatam actually embodies and emanates it. She may not have the most wonderful female voice ever heard, but she sings from a pure heart, bound to touch the listener and open his/hers heart too.

She is not afraid to take risks on stage, and here she is accompanied by a small but very accomplished band. With GuruGanesha Singh Kalsa on guitar, who certainly looks like a guru with turban and long white beard and plays some delightful fills and solos. The brilliant tablaplayer Manish Vyas, who has recorded with the likes of Deva Premal and Prem Joshua, besides releasing a string of fine solo albums. And the very discreet keyboard-player Ram Dass Singh Kalsa, who also plays some meditative clarinet-solos, just as Snatam occasionally picks up her violin.

We get some of her most beloved tracks, ending with her 'hit', her hauntingly beautiful melody to the traditional Sikh-lyrics "Aad Guray Nameh". Vyas and GuruGanesha also contributing a song each.

The music is free-flowing and very well played. The album can be listened to for musical pleasure as well as for meditation, healing, relaxation, yoga etc.

Yoga for Pregnancy: Ninety-Two Safe, Gentle Stretches Appropriate for Pregnant Women & New Mothers

by: Sandra Jordan

Amazon Price: $3.98 (as of 02/16/2012)

I know a lot of my friends or people I talk to about yoga have some fear about it being really hard. I've been doing it for about three years now and love it. It's not hard, you go at your own pace and you don't just sit there and meditate. It is mainly stretching and teaching you the proper way to breath. Yoga is great for everyone. I received this book from my yoga instructor to look over and I immediately got on Amazon and purchased it. It is very simple to follow and shows a large picture on each page so you can easily follow while doing poses. Each page contains a symbol indicating the number of trimesters suitable for each pose. At the end it gives you an example of a routine for each trimester. When you don't have a lot of time to watch a video or go to a class, this is a great book to use to fit your stretches into your day.

Yoga Total Tune-UP

Amazon Price: $11.99 (as of 02/15/2012)

"I have used 2 different Ravi and Ana DVDs and I am impressed. They are consistent in their presentations and I was motivated to purchase 3 more DVDs just for the variety and the calmness I felt after doing this workout. Ravi is so calm and he explains what you are doing and most importantly WHY you are doing it. In so many Yoga videos you hold pose after pose, but the teacher does not explain why or for what reason the pose is important...."
