Named a Best Book of 2022 by The Guardian This is a book about yoga. Or at least, it was. Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully—he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga. Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites—between self-destruction and self-control; sanity and madness; elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live. This is a book about one man’s desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are.

Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to take care of ourselves. Over time, that can be devastating. If you’re older and beginning to realize that you are aren’t in such great shape, then this book is for you. Marianna Halasz, a longtime teacher of Hatha yoga, shares techniques that older people can practice to rejuvenate their bodies and be happier. Learn how to: • change your biological age by practicing yoga; • feel psychologically young again; • become more efficient and effective in your actions. The author also highlights the importance of following four basic rules: breathing properly, drinking plenty of water, eating the right food, and moving your body. Even if you are in your eighties or nineties, you can practice simple yoga exercises in a group or alone at home and see results. All you need is an armless chair and a space where you can stand and stretch the body.
