30.1 Dlmrose’s task: Namaste

30.1 Dlmrose’s task: Namaste

September is National Yoga Month and I spend lots of time on my mat

Read 2 books, each from a different option.

a) Dhyani - Meditation allows the mind to quiet and be fully in the present moment. The concept is simple but it takes time, patience and practice.
Read a non-fiction book with the genre spirituality, religion or self-help on its main book page

b) Pranayama- The conscious use of the breath reduces stress and tension and engages the body and mind. Read a book with the word breath or a form of the word (breathe, breathing, breathless, etc.) that preserves its meaning in the title or subtitle

c)Asana- The physical postures develop the strength and stamina for meditation; align the body; encourage flexibility and vitality; and cultivate balance physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Many poses are named for animals. Read a book with one (or more) of these animals on the cover: cobra (any snake), dog, cat, cow, camel, lion, rabbit
REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

d) Teachers - Like in all areas of life, a knowledgeable and professional teacher provides a safe encouraging environment where students can realize their potential. And yoga classes are fun! Read a book (fiction or non-fiction) about a teacher or teaching. The teacher must be a main character.
REQUIRED: If it is not clear from the GR description, explain how your book fits the task.

This is a dumb question but I'm new to this so...
We need to read 2 books for this which belong to different options OR 2 books from each option?

2 books total. Not 2 from each option. That would be way too many books!!

yes, Finding My Prince Charming needs ebook verification (or a librarian to correct/add the missing edition details)
