Come explore yoga related books with the Wishing Tree community. Enjoy hot tea and discussion every fourth Thursday, beginning in November. Book club will occasionally meet on an alternate day of the week. Watch for updates on our Facebook events and Instagram page as well as in member emails.
Our first two books:
Stolen Focus by Johann Hari (facilitated by Jo) on November 14, 7:00-8:30pm. While not specifically a book about yoga, Johann Hari discusses some of the societal forces we are up against as we try to maintain grounding and focus. The book is thought provoking and should make for some good discussion. Book Club is free or by donation to the studio.
The Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele (facilitated by Ali) on Sunday, December 15 from 1:00-2:30pm. The first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras (the basic text for classical yoga) are examined in this book. The Yamas (restraints) are the first five guidelines which encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, non-excess, and non-possessiveness. The last five are Niyamas (observances) — purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. The book is short, easy to understand and applicable to everyday life.
