"The Yogic Lifestyle: A Foundation for Freedom”
is a practical guide for anyone looking to use the wisdom of “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali” in a way that is relative and contemporary. The focus of this book is on building a strong foundation, which will help to liberate the practitioner from conflict, dis-ease, and scarcity. Melissa Lavery organizes this guide into three sections—relationships, health, and abundance—and dedicates five short chapters to each section. Each chapter highlights the relative sutras and how this wisdom can help the practitioner build a solid foundation. By focusing on The Eight Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, the content in this book dives into topics, such as personal relationships, relationships with the Self, relationships within conflicting viewpoints, meditation, cleanliness, sleep, diet, exercise, generosity of resources, and abiding by principles non-theft, non-hoarding, non-violence, and truthfulness.
