Yoga Saved My Life shows us gently and persuasively that healing the mind is as important as healing the body, and yoga is a great way of doing this -- Vex King During this very ugly moment in global history, we all need as much support as possible. Thankfully, Sasha Bates has gifted us with a magnificent jewel, exploring the physical and psychological benefits of yoga and so much more besides. This extremely readable and engaging book offers essential life-saving wisdom and calm. -- Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, and Visiting Professor of Psychoanalysis and Mental Health, Regents University London Such a wonderfully enjoyable - and practical - book. A lovely guided voice making sense in a crowded space. -- Liz Earle MBE Sasha takes everyday issues of modern life - stress, anxiety, depression, insecurity, overwhelm - and clearly unpacks them psychotherapeutically while revealing how the practice of yoga can help us grow in tolerance, agency, purpose, and compassion. -- Sandra Gillespie, Somatic Therapist, London, UK Sasha demystifies yoga and gives a refreshing antidote to the off-putting public face that yoga sometimes presents. -- Karen Russell, senior yoga teacher, and adaptive and sports yoga teacher
