ONE SIMPLE THING
Yoga is reputed to improve our physical and mental health, and to help us become more productive at work, more caring in relationships, and a more responsible contributor to society and inhabitant on this planet. If yoga does accomplish all that--and most practitioners will swear it's true--how exactly does it do it? Believe it or not, there are answers. And they are based in how the human body/mind functions, how we are built and wired, and how what we do can direct and change that.
Drawing on modern neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and decades of practice and teaching, Eddie Stern's One Simple Thing, with a foreword from Deepak Chopra, explains how what we do affects who we become, and reveals how a steady routine of physical movements, activities, and attitudes are able to transform not just our bodies but our brain functions and emotions, and how we experience life.
Readers and students will come together November 7th for a few hours at the school to comment, explore and share insights and teachings from Eddie’s beautiful book.
We will share an afternoon at the school over vegan sweets and lots of meaningful words.

“All we have to do is make sure that doing a little bit of practice each day becomes a priority in our lives and that we do so until practice becomes a habit, a regular part of our daily routine, or a part of the ritual that makes up the rhythm of our life.”
