Customer Reviews

A personal book

Christy shows herself to be a person of great depth. To share something that has changed her life so positively comes across in her book as an act of love. There are more important things in life than the money and fame of being a supermodel. She has shown the world that she knows it.

A Good Introduction

I am a newcomer to the world of Yoga and this book was easy to follow and informative. It furthered my interest in Yoga and gave helpful suggestions on how to pursue this interest. Great for beginners!

Turlington really does live yoga

I was presently suprised to find that this book contains lots of information about the yoga tradation, timeline, information on various dietys. Even about her two pilgrmages to India. Her asana is truly beautiful. My mother was a balerina who taught me yoga as a child. I own a lot of yoga books. This book is as informative as any other book I own on yoga, and it has a fresh modern approach. I highly reccomend this book.

Living Yoga: An Inspiring Book

I found Christy Turlington's book to be inspiring and thought provoking.She seamlessly weaves together the mental, physical, and spiritualbenefits of yoga for the beginning to the advanced student.She also talks about how the practice of yoga enriches her everyday life. It was particularly interesting to read about how she encompassesher Catholic faith with her yoga practice. As a fellow Catholic, I foundthis aspect of the book to be thought provoking and fascinating.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about becominga yoga student. It provided me with inspiration and gave me a betterunderstanding of the benefits of yoga beyond the physical.

Exploding the air head model myth

This is a serious, touching, well written book. The author, while displaying a keen knowledge of her subject matter, allows the reader access to her personal life that is intimate without being at all uncomfortable. There are. of course, the expected pictures of a gorgeous woman in some, at least to the uninitiated, startling poses. They do not, however, distract the reader from her serious message regarding the value of yoga.If you want an interesting read that effectively exposes the very real intelligence of, at least, this super-model, you should buy this book.
