By Victoria Moran,

Book cover of Age Like a Yogi

What is my book about?

This guide treats physical well-being and spiritual growth as two sides of a coin, exploring spiritual awakening yoga-style, and the fundamentals of yoga’s sister science, ayurveda, for care of the body. Age Like a Yogi (paperback original; ISBN 978-1958972595; 234 pages, US $19.99) not only gives the reader immediately applicable tools for spiritual awareness and physical health in the post-fifty decades, but also a way to leave this world kinder, safer, saner, and a little more beautiful.

"It is the deftness with which Moran handles this delicate balance between the metaphysical and tangible that makes her guide such a pleasure to read" - Kirkus Reviews

“This book is an honest and light-hearted companion for fully embracing every day and every decade. Highly recommended!” —Dean Ornish, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Age Like a Yogi is an essential guide to living a long, vibrant and fulfilled life.” —Tara Stiles, author of Yoga Cures; co-founder of Strala Yoga
