Yoga and Your Hidden Soul Power is a warm and lively dive into the often-overlooked Niyamas of Yoga philosophy, presented through a mix of ancient wisdom, storytelling, simple exercises, and meditation practices.   

What is a common misconception you feel people have about yoga and its total body benefits?

We commonly see Americans viewing yoga as a relative new workout that includes stretching, flexibility, and strength-building. Yes, yoga does all of that and more. The misconception is that yoga’s purpose is spiritual more than physical. Yoga is a 5,000-year-old comprehensive how-to-live philosophy that unites your soul with your Creator using specific scientific techniques and practices including meditation. Hatha yoga is what prepares your body for being able to sit still allowing you to get in touch with your intuition and higher consciousness.

Yoga’s total body benefits include a flexible spine so that your nerve impulses can flow freely. When the energy channels in your spine are restricted life-force will deplete in your organs and make them vulnerable to disease.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

People frequently tell us about their anxiety and depression, and their growing sense of social and spiritual disconnection, and lack of purpose. We all can see that loneliness, stress, weight gain, back pain, and fatigue are widespread. The wisdom in the Niyamas address these issues and we wrote about them wanting to share this wisdom with everyone who is interested in a new path to love, happiness, and abundance.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Yoga and Your Hidden Soul Power?

We hope readers feel encouragement, guidance, and more faith in themselves after reading Yoga and Your Hidden Soul Power. We worked to make the takeaway that we each create our own world while being connected to each other like a string of colorful party lights, shining our own truth in ever-new joy.

A New Path to Love, Happiness, and Abundance Using Yoga’s Ancient Niyama Wisdom

At the heart of Yoga and Your Hidden Soul Power are the Niyamas, a set of ethical principles that provide a roadmap for living a mindful, ethical, and spiritually connected life. The Niyamas offer a framework for integrating yoga philosophy into daily life, supporting both spiritual growth and emotional balance.

Here’s a look at each principle:

● Purity (Saucha): Cleanse the mind and body, creating space for clarity and peace.
● Contentment (Santosha): Cultivate gratitude and satisfaction, regardless of external circumstances.
● Self-Discipline (Tapas): Develop resilience and focus through consistent, dedicated practice.
● Self-Study (Svadhyaya): Engage in self-reflection to gain deeper insight into your true nature.
● Surrender (Ishvara Pranidhana): Let go of ego-driven desires and trust in a higher power.

These teachings are not just theoretical; they are practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, fostering mindfulness, and supporting your journey toward spiritual enlightenment. By integrating the Niyamas into your daily life, you can experience profound transformation in both your inner and outer world.
