review 1: I had heard of Alan Finger plenty because I've been in the yoga thing for many years. This book was refreshing, fun, funny and very helpful. I enjoyed the author's journey and admission of neurosis that we can all relate to. Importantly, I got the book as a recommendation to learn more about the breathing techniques explained therein, but I found Katrina's story wrapped around the lessons to be entertaining and make the lessons even more endearing.
review 2: First finished book of the year! And a great one to start out with. Katrina Repka chronicles a year of her life that included significant changes. Like a lot of young women obsessed with the New York that we see portrayed in tv shows and movies like Sex in the City, she moved there thinking that the move a... morelone would be enough to jumpstart her life. But, as so often happens (I know this first hand), your issues and problems follow you wherever you go.She visited the yoga center of Alan Finger, a Master Yogi, and for the next twelve months, with his help, was able to learn more about herself and obtained the tools to move forward. Alan gave her instruction in the form of breathing exercises to help her focus on what's important. We all take our breath for granted. When we are stressed or afraid, the first thing that we do is hold our breath - the very thing that keeps us alive. The exercises that Katrina & Alan show us in this book are very effective in helping to deal with a myriad of problems. There are exercises to calm the breath and also to energize. Told within the context of Katrina's life, they are very effective and I believe, very useful for us all. less
