An accessible introduction to an embodied spiritual practice for anyone seeking profound and lasting self-transformation. " Mussar practice aims to help us become more whole in our lives. It is focused on helping us move from partialness or even brokenness toward wholeness. Yoga embodies a similar concept.... By marrying Mussar practice and yoga practice, this book opens a new pathway to developing greater wholeness.... The wholeness that comes of our efforts in turn affects both body and soul, and we experience the fruit of our efforts in the form of inner peace." —from the Foreword In this clear and easy-to-use introduction to Mussar Yoga—a blending of Jewish and Eastern spiritual practices—you will learn how to explore the physical dimension of ethical behaviors and attitudes such as humility, generosity, enthusiasm and gratitude through yoga poses and the yogic practice of breath work.

With practice, Mussar Yoga can help free you from bad habits and self-destructive behavior, increase your capacity for compassion and acts of goodness, and help you develop a more fulfilling, meaningful life.

Very Good Book. A Worthwhile reading choice.
I like how this book combines Yoga and Jewish Ideas and Principles with Sanskrit philosophy I recommend this book Very much. Even if you don't do the Yoga Exercises it is still Worthwhile reading.

Good way to blend your interest of yoga and mussar (self improvement).
Good overview of Mussar that works well for a small group. The yoga pose explanations are clear.

I'd like to give this book more stars, but ....
I was hoping this might get me to stretch more as well as work on mussar. The poses are not conducive to someone not currently in decent shape. It would have been lovely if the author had made sure each middar had an asana that could work for beginners or at least an adaptation for those of us not particularly flexible or strong. That said, I found a lot about the text that was helpful. Maybe I'll give the poses another try.

I have had the pleasure of meeting and taking some of the author's yoga classes and she is the real deal! She continues to inspire me everyday through her words and through this book! So very thankful! I highly recommend.

Ok but not completely what I expected
"État : D'occasion - Très bon - May have limited writing in cover pages. Pages are unmarked." I was not expecting a book stained on the cover, otherwise the book is ok and I appreciate that the order arrived earlier.
