Awakened Heart, Embodied Mind: A Modern Yoga Philosophy Infused with Somatic Psychology & Neuroscience

This book explores the rich intersections between yoga, meditation, somatic psychology, neuroscience and philosophy.

It is loaded with information and ideas and designed as inspiration for both teachers and students and as a manual for the Awakened Heart, Embodied Mind yoga teacher training as well as a text for other trainings.

This is a unique, contemporary, integrative perspective that I think all will find enriching, thought provoking and life enhancing.

Part One lays out the basic principles of our approach to yoga and how it is infused with ideas, information and techniques from somatic psychology, neuroscience and Buddhist meditation. This includes the "Trinity Sutra," a set of aphorisms designed to condense these principles in a more poetic way.

Part Two is a unique exploration of the Chakra System from
the Kunadalini Tantra as a map of mind/body relationships, stages of development, and a way to reflect on various key aspects of inner work. This section includes reference to “high charge” anatomy points and descriptions of chakra-themed yoga sequences, as well as meditations and journaling exercises on each chakra and its related psychology.

Please help me spread the word to yoga students, teachers and teacher trainers!
