VERY TRUE

ANYONE who has met Alan Finger, knows that all of what Katrina writes is true. I applaud her for exposing herself so completely and creating a way to incorporate Alans teachings and the basic teachings of Yoga, into her life story. We could all use these teachings to help us navigate through life's challenging obstacles. What Alan teaches is so positive and humane, and Katrina's story of how she wrestled with herself all make for a good read and leave an inspiring after taste. As a man living in NYC, even I found useful lessons here.

What a great story!

This book is funny, light hearted and intelligently written. I would recommend it to anyone who loves yoga or is interested in finding out more.

a great read

I found this book to be wonderfully engaging, compelling & cheering. It's inspiring. Makes me want to breathe deeply & go practice yoga more often. I hope everyone reads this & finds their own way towards something deeper & better in life. It's a great read.

A fabulous read!

I loved this book. It is an easy guide that really does impact your life! The writing is great and although I haven't had experiences similar to Katrina, it still spoke to me. This should be a series (i.e. motherhood, etc.) because I would buy them all...
