YogaLean by Beth
Shaw is not just another weight loss book. It is truly a lifestyle guide, for
both our bodies and minds. Right from the beginning, Shaw is adamant that this
book is not about being skinny; it’s about being lean, as in fit and healthy.
Each chapter focuses on a different component to aid in
creating a healthy and fulfilling life. There are chapters on breathing
techniques to try every day, workouts that can be done at home, and delicious
recipes. Shaw gives a lot of advice on working on the self from the inside out.
For the mind, a few things she suggested are journaling, meditation, and
clearing space, physically and mentally. For the body, she gives Ayurvedic
advice along with a healthy diet and consistent exercise. Based on your dosha,
she provides tips on how you can keep it balanced through activities and food.
The recommended exercises and yoga poses are well explained
through words and pictures. The recipes are also detailed and broken up into
categories, such as recipes for immunity, relaxation, and energy.
If you’re feeling stuck or lost in your weight loss or
wellness journey, try reading YogaLean.
Even if you don’t follow everything, there are bounteous nuggets of information
to help you on your journey for health.
