Author of New Book Explains How to Reset Your Health with Yoga
Many people vowed to start 2019 by watching what they ate, exercising more and paying attention to their wellness. But just one month into the year they may be frustrated and backsliding—or placing their trust in some fad diet.
Adelfa Marie Samson has one word for them: yoga. In her just-released, comprehensive book, Yoga for Daily Living: Balancing Body, Mind and Spirit for Health, Happiness and Peace, Samson shares yoga’s many benefits, from flexibility to discipline, stress relief and physical fitness.
She discovered yoga while seeking symptom relief from foot surgery and lifelong asthma. However, she says, it takes more than merely attending a weekly yoga class to access all these benefits.
A master of her craft, Samson leads retreats globally and is the lead yoga trainer at Kishore Kendra Trust Yoga School in Bangalore, India. Samson says that practicing yoga without proper diet and meditation will not lead to the balanced lifestyle that the discipline is capable of providing.
In Yoga for Daily Living, Samson offers an invaluable guide to creating, sustaining and deepening a yoga practice for beginners through advanced students.
In an interview, she can talk about:
- How to find the right yoga teacher
- Obstacles to meditation and tools for mastery
- Why she traded her corporate suit for yoga pants
- Indian spices people should know about and their nutritional and curative aspects
- How to remain composed in a politically divided society
- Proper breathing techniques
