Feeling Happy

The Yoga of Body, Heart, and Mind

By: Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor

Narrated by: Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor

What is the fully embodied experience of happiness, and is there any way for it to last? Feeling Happy explores what happiness is and offers practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life and connection to others.

The book is filled with examples from everyday life alongside exercises and meditations that unravel the complexity of getting stuck in patterns of thought and behavior that cause suffering. It offers accessible insight into the nature of being, that will allow you to wake up and integrate your physical body, heart, and mind so that even in difficult times, compassion, equanimity, and happiness can emerge.

Deep Yoga Teachings Aren’t Always Complex

It’ll clarify a lot for you and do so in an extremely palatable way. After all, we are all seekers some, if not all of the time. The author’s, Mary & Richard narrate the book themselves & you can hear in their voices how much they want to add more happiness, fulfillment & contenment to YOUR daily lives. If you’re an asana practitioner or teacher, you’ll get tips & refreshers (and smiles). If you’re a care giver, of any profession, you’ll get tips & reminders and, if you’re not caring too much, smiles. You’ll enjoy this from your bed, easy chair as well as (hopefully), walking through the park. But, maybe not while riding a motorcycle 😊. Give it a go, they are sharing decades & decades of Yoga Teaching & Care-giving.
