You don't have to be struggling with addiction to be able to identify with Esther's story, or to gain from the lessons she shares with you. This inspirational and transformative book tells the journey of Esther's addiction and recovery, and the ancient wisdom of Yoga that helped her find inner peace, sobriety and herself. Esther learned, as you can to, just how much Yoga can gift to you when you look beyond the postures. Find out how Yoga can improve all aspects of your life through Esther's easy to read first book. If you think Yoga is just an exercise class, or sitting cross legged chanting OM, then you are in for a surprise when you learn of its true power. "There is a common misconception amongst the general public that living a life free of alcohol is to live a life with something missing. A life where every day is struggle against the demon drink. Esther Nagle puts these myths firmly to bed with her exploration of addiction and recovery and the power of yoga to both bring joy and to still 'the whirlpools of the subconscious mind'. Some books are called life-changing. This one really is."

Michaela Jones, in2recovery.org.uk "A very brave and truthful account I can relate to. Thought provoking, informative, a must read for anyone wanting to find spirituality and learn about the use of yoga in addiction recovery" Charlotte Harding, Recovery Mummy This book is a powerful insight into how Esther overcame not just physical addictions but also entrenched behaviours through Yoga. The book is an honest account of how an everyday person can become overwhelmed by stresses and anxieties but also how they can triumph over their problems and achieve the life they have always wanted. This is a sensitive narrative that also goes into the true essence of Yoga and how it can help us all in our lives. I would recommend this to anyone interested in understanding the deeper meaning of yoga and how it can help overcome all manner of problems.
