<p>“This would be a book I could just as easily recommend to a client who has never considered stepping onto a yoga mat as I could a die-hard yogini who is looking for ways to bring her work life into alignment with her practice.<br /><strong>— Kate Bartolotta, <em>Elephant Journal</em></strong></p> <p>"The authors show yoga is not just about the poses —the practice is about creating the stillness of mind that will allow you to do the work you were meant to do. Seriously, read this book,<br /><strong>—Russell Simmons, yogi and founder of Def Jam</strong></p> <p>"Their writings carry yoga practices into a world of daily decision-making...."<br /><strong>—Pandit Rajmani Tuganait</strong></p> <p>A significant contribution to the body of literature bridging East and<br /> West, the Showkeirs’ work provides a powerful guide for applying<br /> the principles of yoga to develop human potential and enhance work<br /> satisfaction. Highly recommended.”<br /> —<strong>Howard Cutler, coauthor of the bestselling The Art of Happiness (with<br /> the Dalai Lama)</strong><br /><br /> “By relating all aspects of yoga to the workplace and using everyday<br /> language, the authors put the intricacies of this advanced spiritual<br /> tradition within reach of the general public…. a useful tool for those<br /> seeking to expand their understanding and practice of yoga whether<br /> they are experienced yoga practitioners or have just begun their fi rst<br /> class.”<br /><strong>—Anna Jedrziewski, book reviewer, Retailing Insight (formerly New Age<br /> Retailer)</strong><br /> “This generous, insightful, and eminently practical book is offered with<br /> an open heart from years of experience—the best practice manual<br /> I’ve read for how to embody authenticity and integrity. I am grateful<br /> to Maren and Jamie for bringing together the disciplines of yoga and<br /> leadership.”<br /><strong>—Meg Wheatley, bestselling author of <em>Leadership and the New Science</em><br /> and <em>So Far from Home</em></strong><br /><br /> “With so much emphasis these days on practicing poses, the other<br /> seven limbs of yoga are often overlooked. The application of ancient<br /> wisdom to modern life situations offered here will be helpful to all<br /> people, whether or not they ever set foot on a yoga mat. Please read<br /> this book!”<br /><strong>—Desirée Rambaugh, internationally known master yoga teacher</strong><br /><br /> “Translating this essential, ancient knowledge into a pragmatic, contemporary<br /> context is a huge and valuable contribution. Expand your<br /> knowledge and expand your life with this book!”<br /><strong>—Kevin Cashman, bestselling author of Leadership from the Inside Out<br /> and The Pause Principle</strong></p> <p>“The Showkeirs draw upon 2,000-year-old wisdom and adroitly weave<br /> personal stories and case histories to crisply illustrate the Eight Limbs<br /> of Yoga’s applications in the contemporary workplace.”<br /><strong>—Dr. Paul Mittman, president and CEO, Southwest College of<br /> Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences</strong><br /><br /> “I love the book’s simple, clear instructions on how to infuse your daily<br /> work life with ancient spiritual principles and practices. Rather than<br /> rolling up your sanity in a yoga mat, you can keep it by practicing<br /> yoga at work. All together now: ‘Ommmmm.’ Perfect!”<br /><strong>—BJ Gallagher, bestselling coauthor of <em>A Peacock in the Land of<br /> Penguins</em> and <em>Being Buddha at Work</em></strong></p>
