Refining the Breath: Pranayama in the Anusara Style of Yoga
By Doug Keller
(Second edition)
Fully Illustrated, 116 pages

Yogic breathing is an essential practice of hatha yoga that not only brings relaxation, clarity, focus and renewed energy; it is the doorway from asana (the practice of yoga postures) into meditation.  

'Refining the Breath' takes you step-by-step into the yoga of the breath.  Ideal for both beginning and intermediate yoga students, it delves into principles of posture and forms of classic pranayama. Beyond the in-depth but accessible treatment of technique, it sets the practice in the context of the spiritual philosophy of yoga.

The Splendor of Recognition
By Swami Shantananda
424 pages. Paperback.

Swami Shantananda guides the reader through an exploration of the Pratyabhijna-hrdayam, an eleventh-century Shaivite scripture that crystallizes in twenty brief statements the teachings on the process of "recognition": the illusion-dispelling awareness that the cosmos in all its variety (including the reader himself!) is a manifestation of God's own being. Swamiji writes, "For me, the most exciting aspect of Shaivism is precisely this: the power of our own awareness to create an extraordinary reality in every moment of our life."

This book is unique in engaging both the analytical and the experienctial, making an essential and abstruse text of Kashmir Shaivism--perhaps the most refined system of Indian philosophical thought--available to advanced seekers and students of yoga and meditation so that they can contemplate its wisdom and apply it in their daily lives

From Root to Bloom: Yoga Poems and Other Writings
By Danna Faulds
114 pages. Paperback.

Author of "Go In and In," "One Soul," and "Prayers to the Infinite," Danna Faulds writes about her latest book of poetry: "More and more these days my old orientation is falling away. Rule books and signposts that were helpful in the past don't offer much guidance in this new landscape. The poetry and prose in "From Root to Bloom" is my attempt to describe the unfolding journey of my last two years, both light and shadow."

Author of "Go In and In" and "One Soul," two popular books of yoga poetry, Danna Faulds writes from the heart of her spiritual practice. She says of this book:

"When prayer began to come alive inside of me, I was fascinated and embarrassed, captivated and confused. I had long since given up any rigid notion of an anthropomorphic, judging God, yet here I was in intimate dialogue with something bigger than myself. I didn't quite know what to make of this.

Over time, as I looked closely at my prayer life, I uncovered a remarkable fact: the very act of personally addressing the Infinite opened me to a different experience of self and other, one in which I sensed a divinity as an interior part of all things.

Prayers are my attempt to translate into words some of my deepest inner longings. They are an offering of passion, love, fear, anxiety, gratitude, and pain. Praying is one way to connect with Spirit. A doorway to the fluid and creative energy I call God, Lord, the One, Beloved, the Infinite, or All That Is.

Inevitably this dialogue began to find its way into my poetry and this book is the result. It is an eclectic mix of prayer-poems and other poetry arising in my yoga and meditation practice, my observations of the natural world, and from facing life as it has come to me over the last year.
