Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Farhi, a well-known yoga teacher who divides her time between New Zealand and the U.S., has taught for over 26 years and authored two previous books. This especially thoughtful treatise about the relationship of yoga practice to everyday life is well written and aimed at both new and longtime practitioners of yoga. Farhi combines her knowledge of classic yoga philosophy with insights from her years of practice and teaching. She was personally challenged by eating disorders and perfectionist tendencies, and learned that true yoga practice is not found in transient physical attainments, such as mastering difficult poses or sitting for longer periods of meditation, but rather in taking a more spiritual approach. To that end, she guides the reader to seek a deeper spiritual level in order to use yoga learning to live everyday life with more authenticity and compassion. Jane Tuma

Einleitungssatz
Monday night is the evening for beginners at the studio, and although it is only five-thirty the winter sky has begun to darken as students arrive, some tentatively, others in boisterous pairs who have egged each other on to come, and the silent furtive ones, not yet sure whether there is a special way to act when entering a Yoga school.

A real pearl among the many yoga books. Donna is one of the very few teachers who really have to say something and not just repeat back shallow platitudes of other authors.
She covers a lot of ground in this book. After reading a few paragraphs you want to get up and actually do Yoga postures. Her writing style is fresh and direct, and breathes an air of integrity that she certainly must have, judging also from oher other books. All highly recommended.

This is not a book about yoga postures ... at least it does not tell you where or when to bend which way. ;-)
In fact Donna Farhi tells about the eight-limbed path of Ashtanga yoga (and her own journey with it), with Hatha yoga (= the postures) 'just' being one limb amongst them, and how following this path can bring the reader (more) to her/his Self ... simply said: to enlightening.
I h i g h l y recommend this book ... it brought and brings so many insights to me (I am about to finish it for the second time) ... it's amazing, written with compassion and love.

2. Dezember 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Soon after practicing yoga and finding myself changing in strange and remarkable ways, I felt I needed a book that might explain the less obvious "benefits" of yoga other than physical fitness. I now read a chapter or two of this book every night and so far I have the feeling that I am conversing with a very wise, benevolent, and understanding teacher. Donna Farhi has a way of communicating exactly what I, at least, have been wondering and feeling about me, my yoga practice, and life. I will send this book to my closest friends.

A Real Gem
27. Juli 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I really treasure my copy of Donna Farhi's "Bringing Yoga to Life." No matter how many times I've read it, I can always pick it up and glean some new insight or perspective from any passage. Her writing reflects genuine depth, wisdom, and experience, and she has a real gift for expressing sentiments that we intuitively realize but may not yet be able express ourselves. Note that this is not your typical manual of physical postures (there are certainly plenty of those available), but a very unique work that speaks to the process of integrating one's practice into daily life (which is what yoga is really about). Highly recommended.

Bringing Yoga ToLife, Donna Farhi
25. April 2008
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is a an absolute essential for any Yoga Practitioner. I have been practicing yoga for over 5 years and teaching for over 2 1/2 years. I keep rereading this book so I can have the knowledge and experience from this book embedded in my body and brain. I have highlighted, underlined, bookmarked many pages in this book to share with my yoga students. I could not say enough about this amazing book.
