Meryl Davids Landau Hello Emilly:

My apologies for answering this question so long after you asked it. I never got an email notification from Goodreads.

To me, yoga wisdom is not about the yoga poses, although they can help facilitate wisdom. It is the philosophy the ancient yogis figured out, which is that becoming mindful of the moment you are in is the best way to experience life. Doing yoga poses in a way that keeps your attention inside your body--on where you're stretching, how your feet are pressing into the floor--and the like is one way to facilitate that, as is sitting or walking meditation. But it's really about bringing that mindset into your everyday life.

This can be challenging. And this challenge is the theme of my newest novel Warrior Won, which comes out mid-May. It's also the theme of my prior novel Downward Dog, Upward Fog; both novels feature the same woman, Lorna, trying to keep her inner peace despite difficult things going on in her life. Look for giveaways of the novel on Goodreads next month.

XO
Meryl
