“Brett translates the magic of ancient yoga for those who need it most.” —James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath

Overwhelmed? Overscheduled? Want to access the benefits of yoga, but can’t seem to make it to the mat? Beat stress with a yoga ritual that works for you in 20-minutes or less. Featuring adaptations for anxiety, weight loss, injury, and prenatal yoga, this "playful and real" (Elena Brower) guide is a must-read for beginners and seasoned yoga teachers alike.

We all know that yoga can calm your mind and heal your body, but let’s be real: It can be hard to cram one more thing into your messy, stressful, time-crunched life.
Good news! If you're not making it to the mat, the problem isn’t you—it’s the yoga you’re practicing.

Award-winning instructor and Uplifted Yoga founder Brett Larkin is here to help you design an adaptable, personalized practice, and cut to the chase with quick yoga habits that soothe your soul. With the support of quizzes and thirty book-exclusive companion videos you’ll learn:

  • A five-step method to design a personal practice that works for your schedule.
  • How to adapt your practice to meet your physical, mental, and emotional needs.
  • More than a dozen yoga habits that will help you calm your mind and body, even if you never manage to make it to the mat.

Grounded in the wisdom of yoga’s original texts, Brett reminds us that yoga was always meant to fit easily into our everyday lives. Whether you’re a beginner or a life-long practitioner, Yoga Life is your new go-to for a personal, transformative, joyful at-home practice to strengthen your mind, body, and spirit.
