Jacqueline Snider Hi Aaron, I picked up your book 'Zen Yoga' at Chapters. I even got the last copy! Do you have any DVDs? I will read the content of your book, it looks intriguing, but I like to follow a DVD when I'm stretching.


Christine Hi Aaron, Australia is having extremely hot weather at the moment, not too bad in Tasmania, but uncomfortable enough.
I'm looking at your title Zen Yoga: A Path To Enlightenment Through Breathing, Movement and Meditation. I have a friend who teaches Yoga and collects books on the subject, so I am going to see if she has your title, if not, I might surprise her with your book. Keep in touch.
Blessings Chris - CJ
