There’s an ancient Vedic invocation sung before embarking on a journey asking to be led from untruth to truth and from darkness to light. Christina skillfully guides you on a journey oriented toward thriving and blossoming using her brilliant, fresh model introducing you to your back door hackers, a R.A.W. scale, your distraction mode, and my favorite, your G.P.S. so that you are sourced to thrive. It’s a brilliant re-interpretation of ancient yogic concepts of transformation for modern householders. Yoga originally meant journey, battle, and chariot. Here you have the chariot to use for your journey as you not only uncover, but completely unpack all the skills needed for the inevitable battles along the way. Enjoy. Go slow. —Pam Blum, E-RYT® 500, YACEP® Teacher Trainer Pranakriya School of Yoga Healing Arts
