Recommendations for books, CDs and DVDs from the studio instructors.

Bridgett's Recommended readings:

• The Tree of Yoga, BKS Iyengar Great primer on yoga. My copy is falling apart. It was my first yoga read, and I refer to it often.
• Art& Fear, Observations on the Perils (and rewards) of Artmaking, David Bayles & Ted Orland Appropriate and applicable whatever your “art” may be. I think we all have a version of “art”. Accepting your gift – or art – and then sharing it is half the challenge of life.
• The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho Very easy read – an inspiring read when you need to reconnect with your life purpose.
• A Practical Guide to Vibrational Medicine: Energy Healing and Spiritual Transformation, Richard Gerber

DVD:
Shiva Rea - Yoga Shakti Nice variety and ability to mix/match asana

Music:
Krishna Das, Pilgrim Heart Favorite music to unwind instead of “flipping stations” while driving.
