JOURNEY TO JOYFUL(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　In this uplifting guide packed with health tips, dietary
recommendations, and inspirational affirmations, Dashama introduces
her own brand of yoga for self-transformation. The book introduces
Pranashama Yoga, developed by Dashama as a combination of arts that
works with the physical and spiritual energy of the body.
Pranashama Yoga draws on various styles of yoga (Vinyasa, Ashtanga,
Kundalini, Anusara, and Power), martial arts (T’ai Chi, Qigong),
and Thai yoga therapy.
　　Dashama includes clear explanations of the yoga philosophy
underlying her program and shares her own journey to her present
success as a leading yoga teacher. Tackling the problem of
addiction and its impact on family and individual happiness,
Dashama presents alternative visions of healing and mental peace
through the time-tested, drug-free path of yoga. She concludes the
book with useful exercises to help students on their own journeys
to joyful living: self-assessment writing assignments, quizzes, and
a four-stage diet and weight-loss program that incorporates yogic
breathing and positive-thinking exercises. Illustrated throughout
with black and white photographs, Journey to Joyful is designed for
readers interested in yoga, natural food, weight loss, and positive
thinking.
