5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic, fantastic, funny!, 6 Feb 2005

By	Yogamum "esiggers" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yoga School Dropout (Paperback)

This is the true story of one girls escape from the rat race to explore a variety of ways of deepening her interest in yoga.

She travels to India and goes from Ashram to Ashram, Guru to Guru, Yoga School to Yoga School. You read about the scams and the 'crazies' and also the deeply sincere people and spiritual places you could find yourself if you did the same. It's almost like an informal review of each place, which might prove useful if you were thinking of doing the same. It explains with humour and realism the difficulties of such a path, along with the joys and rewards too. Most interestingly you see Lucy's inner journey as she struggles with herself, much to the relief of the reader, as you see her own humanity.

This is a super book. I read it on holiday in Mauritius and the book and the surroundings together took me to a state of bliss. I absolutely LOVED it but as a result won't be travelling to India to pursue my love of yoga at any time soon! I am tempted though...

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy Edge - Yoga School Drop Out, 12 April 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Yoga School Dropout (Paperback)

I brought this on holidays and I found it so difficult to put down! It made me laugh, It made me want to give it all up and head to Kerala, it made me see beyond the veneer of mysticism that we create around yoga and most importantly, it made me remember to put it all into perspective.

I loved the book - so well written and such a fascinating read

Lucy - can't wait for your next book. Release it soon!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga School Dropout, 22 Dec 2004

By	lara luer (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yoga School Dropout (Paperback)

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed Yoga School Drop Out. Been
thinking about going to India for a while - the book has inspired me to
do so in March - to the Sivananda ashram that Lucy went to.
Great book, really well written, made me laugh a lot and really think
about my yoga and where I want to go with it.
Thanks for the opportunity to read it before its release.
