\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\nAs\na long-time kundalini yoga instructor, I really enjoyed this book. \nIt describes a gentle, wonderful path to a daily yoga practice,\nsomething everyone can benefit from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nOne\nof the things I found most enjoyable is the fact that Ms. Hirschi\nused certain exercises\/postures for each day of the week, using the\nqualities and the energies of each specific day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping in mind that different practices\/traditions have alternate names for each day, the author uses the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday is the Day of the Sun
Monday is the Day of the Moon
Tuesday is the Day of Mars
Wednesday is the Day of Jupiter
Friday is the Day of Venus
Saturday is the day of Saturn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nEach\nchapter describes the particular day, what it’s energies are, what it\nrepresents, followed by a kriya (exercise set) and meditation,\nincluding a daily mantra, or affirmation. While each day has it’s\nown unique set of exercises separate from the others, they build upon\neach other for a complete sense of balance within the week. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMs.\nHirschi ends with a chapter on taking this step-by-step approach to\nyour every day life, focusing on planning our days in a very mindful\nmanner, for organization, focus, creativity, analysis, generosity,\ncelebration and spirituality. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAll\nin all, it is a very easy guide to a better you, using yoga as your\npathway to more energy, clarity and peace. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
