There’s nothing better than a good book! For me, there’s also nothing better than writing from my desk overlooking my heavenly yard on a hill.
I write (and teach) about the interface of nutritional science and yoga spirit. So far I have three book offerings (two are collaborations) and a professional CE course for nutritionists. Enjoy, and please leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads and elsewhere.
Read on, friends!

The Future of Sacred Yoga Therapy: Combining Science with the Sacred Roots of Yoga, Both in Personal Practice and as Integrative Medicine
The Future of Sacred Yoga Therapy [Ritz Books, April 2024, $19.95 US / $24.99 CAN] is a glimpse behind the curtain of holistic health and wellness in your life and professional workplace. Educate and empower yourself with yoga therapy’s preventative approaches for improving physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Written by 5 certified IAYT Yoga Therapists, the authors present expert guidance, stories of growth, and share their journeys into integrative healthcare through Yoga Therapy. 100% of this book’s paperback royalties are being donated to the non-profit: The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).
I’m touched to have contributed a chapter entitled:
Integrating Soul-in-Medicine with Your Yoga Therapy Path
In it, I give my perspective on why we ‘do yoga’ and how choosing to live an examined life can help you navigate life’s challenges. By finding solace in the solitude of daily practice, you may hear guiding questions to lead life forward. This is my “letters to a young yoga therapist”. I hope it inspires your journey.

Every Bite Is Divine: The Balanced Approach to Enjoying Eating, Feeling Healthy and Happy, and Getting to a Weight that’s Natural for You
Every Bite Is Divine [Life Arts Press, February 2007, $16.95 US] Inspires readers to find peace in the war on weight with yoga and sensible nutrition. We each have a perfect natural weight and shape. By remembering how to care for ourselves lovingly, we allow ourselves to gracefully create our own unique and healthy body. Extreme crash diets are not in this picture. Through yoga and other methods of relaxation and rediscovering our personal self-care basics, we can find our true self. We can enjoy life – including eating as we love to – and reach a healthy contentment with our own reality even if it doesn’t match the picture popular culture sells.

“… a great book with which to start off the New Year. I learned a lot about myself while I was reading it and answering the questions that were put there for introspection….I really enjoyed an exercise that she includes that is titled: “Steps to Successful Lifestyle Manifestation.” I highly recommend that the reader completes this exercise. I really look forward to the positive changes that I see happening from reading “Every Bite is Divine.”” – Paige Lovitt, Reader Views
