"exhilarating and inspiring"--Yoga Magazine
Product Description
The effervescent, charismatic Maya Fiennes will do for relaxation and yoga what Nigella Lawson did for food and cookery. In "Yoga for Real Life", she has written a book aimed at bringing yoga principles into all aspects of your everyday life. It is full of yoga tips, exercises and wisdom. Maya Fiennes, who teaches the Kundalini method of yoga both face-to-face and on Sky TV, introduces her method, shares her story, and reveals the secrets of Kundalini Yoga that have helped her and her students to manage the stresses and strains of everyday life, the challenges that most of us encounter at some stage in our lives. Chapters include: 'Be Here, Now', 'Detox and De-stress', 'Self esteem', 'Staying Youthful' and 'Love and Relationships'. Combining poses, breathing, chanting and meditation to give you a full mind-body workout, with recipes, mantras and Maya's personal story, and illustrated with full-colour photographs by David 'Jamie Oliver' Loftus, Maya shows how yoga practice and philosophy can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. "Yoga for Real Life" is a book for your handbag, your desk, and your bedside table: your indispensable guide to achieving the most from your daily life - for the rest of your life.

Format:Paperback
I am delighted with this book. I ordered from Amazon.co.uk and recieved it very quickly.
I have all of Maya's DVD's and was looking forward to this book being released. I am really impressed with it. It is a good size and has 208 Pages, the photographs are beautiful...very creative and inspirational. The book contains what the title describes and the chapters are as follows:
Hello from Maya
Introduction
Be here, Now - Root chakra
Detox and destress - Sacral chakra
Yes I can - Navel chakra
Love and relationships - Heart chakra
Staying youthful - Throat chakra
Children - Third Eye chakra
Finding joy - Crown chakra
The chapters are so interesting and well composed. Exercises and mantra's are detailed and easy to follow. There is also inspirational wisdom and quotes from Masters eg Yogi Bhajan. Maya also includes some recipes that will benefit in different ways.
The pages are in the colour of the chakra's and I think it is a nice touch as it looks nice but it is also practical as you can easily choose the chakra that you would like to work with. At the beginning of each chakra chapter there is a reference to the chakra:
Governs
Shadow emotions
Colour
Symbol
Element
I am so glad that I purchased this book and can highly recommend it to you and hope that you benefit from it as I know I will. Sat Nam x

I saw this book while looking for something else while out shopping. I thought it looked interesting but didn t buy it. Within the next few days I came across more info on Kundalini Yoga, which I had never investigated even though I have done yoga for over thirty years. Then I read about Maya, an article had come my way and I felt I should investigate further. I found her on youtube- check out the 3:12 sec. one- and did the "exercise." I felt totally energised!! So I ordered the book and her Detox and De Stress DVD.
The book is excellent, explains about Chakras, breathing, diet and everything you could want about Kundalini Yoga. I have used it along with the DVD, which I highly recommend. I have used both over the last month and I can honestly say I feel more energised, focused, am sleeping better and best of all, feel happier. I have now purchased Maya s DVD "A Journey through the Chakras, Courage, Creativity and Willpower." This is brilliant too.

I am no newcomer to the world of Yoga, and love it with a passion. There are many, many types of Yoga of course, but I had never considered Kundalini Yoga for me as I always thought it too difficult. This book opened my eyes. It is a beautiful book, full of loving advice and written by somebody who really wants to help make your life take an interesting and loving direction.
