There are dozens of books that tell you where to place your heel when you do yoga, where to put your arm, how to bend your waist...This is a book that teaches where to place your heart when you do yoga. There is more to yoga than postures, and Christina Sell draws on her own experience and that of her students to produce the first book on Anusara Yoga. A beautiful book about women in yoga, finding peace and acceptance and bringing that to their lives, their bodies and their practice.

A DEEPER YOGA is for anyone on the path of yoga. Newer yoga students will benefit from the compassionate explanations of the inner journey and find direction in building a stronger foundation of practice. Experienced yoga practitioners will find a refreshing and honest exploration of both the hype and the heart of the work. Teachers of all traditions will benefit from the ongoing reminder that yoga is, not only for the body, but for transformation of consciousness and spiritual unfolding. A DEEPER YOGA is uniquely aimed at practitioners who initially found help from yoga, but who are now experiencing impatience, discouragement or even disillusionment. It leads the reader to yoga's more esoteric teachings, using language without jargon or unnecessary details. The tone is compassionate, yet strong and authoritative - inviting us to empower our own deeper knowing, yet without watering down the traditional teachings. Topics of body image, self-hatred, eating disorders, addiction and emotional imbalance are considered throughout. Christina skilfully dismantles the illusions and early conditionings that lead to unrealistic norms of perfection and empower a media-driven standard of beauty. A DEEPER YOGA offers an alternative view of genuine beauty.
