Relatable and inspiring for people living Yoga in action in the modern world
I have been listening to Brett’s podcast for several years and was excited to get my hands on this book. I preordered it and waited impatiently for it to arrive. I was not disappointed – the book resonates with me and is well written in a way that makes me feel like I’m sitting with a knowledgable good friend that is offering tips and advice.Living the life of Yoga is about so much more than going to a physical Yoga class and I love how the author is able to connect to me through a book in the way I feel connected to instructors in physical class. My problem has always been not being able to nail down a home practice I’ll commit to, and this book has given me the tools I was missing to not only commit to a home practice, but look forward to it as much as I do when I’m in a physical class.I love it so much, I bought the Audio version as well so I can listen to it often and make notes in my physical copy. It’s a great read and relatable for all levels of practitioners.

Inspiring book about creating a bite-sized & tailored for you practice
I purchased the physical book and now am listening to the audio book, which Brett is reading herself!As a yoga teacher myself, this book has reinforced my way to bring yoga in small bites into everyday life. You do not have to go to a class or practice for an hour to do yoga. Brett has shown me how to easily talk to my students about living their yoga and weaving it into their daily lives.This book is a must read if you want to create your own practice to meet your own specific needs!

Finally a yoga practice that supports me and feminine energy
Much of traditional yoga feels so strict that it brings up a lot of shame and guilt in me for not practicing it “right”. Western yoga is more like a fitness routine that glorifies fitness more than the spiritual and wellness aspects that traditional yoga intends to bring the practitioner. This book, Yoga Life by Brett Larkin, does a TREMENDOUS job bringing traditional practices to the reader WITHOUT the shame or guilt. Instead, she teaches the traditional perspectives in a way that feels light and approachable. She makes yoga feel like a sacred practice instead of an unachievable goal of perfection and purity.Without sacrificing the traditional perspectives, this book makes it easy to practice yoga in a way that is uniquely beneficial to you as a reader. She walks you through all of the different aspects of a daily practice, from breathing exercises to meditation to energy-building poses to grounding down. In the book, you’ll learn how to choose a practice based on your own dosha (Ayurvedic constitution), which can be adapted as needed. She teaches you how to give yourself grace and how to adapt your practice to your own needs, moment to moment.I also really loved how much the author speaks about feminine and masculine energy throughout the book. As a woman, competing in the masculine rat race in my 20s wore me down and brought up a lot of health issues that I’ve been learning to heal ever since. This book speaks to how damaging that can be for women and provides ways to balance out our feminine energy through our yoga practice.I will be buying for my friends because I think it’s exactly what women need and I can see how healing it can be for women looking to reconnect with their feminine energy through grounding practices.

Loved this book and will be re-reading!!!
I bought this book as part of my upcoming Uplifted Yoga 200 hour teacher training and it does not disappoint! Highly recommend to all yogis whether interested in teaching or not!

So much information in an easy to understand and sometimes highly entertaining format.Do yourself a favor, buy this book and take your time delving into all the things!!

My favorite yoga book of all time!!
As a longtime follower of Brett and Uplifted Yoga, I was SO excited to get my hands on her new book. From the first page, I was hooked. I’ve been practicing yoga for years, but this book completely transformed my personal practice. I love how Brett started with her own story, goes into the history (proving yoga is meant to be adaptable!), and then hands you all the tools you need. The quizzes really helped me figure out how to apply the wisdom in the book to my life. I find myself going through my day, wondering how I can add svadhyaya, tapas, and ishvara pranidhana to every situation in my life. I love the freedom of creating the yoga ritual that fits my life the best, instead of forcing myself to follow a full hour-long class. Mostly, I love how focused on self-love this book is and how Brett truly taught me how to take my yoga off the mat and into the real world. This book is a total game-changer and I can’t stop recommending it to everyone I know!! Do yourself a favor and read Yoga Life. I hope you love it as much as I do!!

MUST READ for everyone!â¤ï¸
I will preface this by saying Iâm in Brettâs 200 hour yoga teacher program and it has completely changed my life!Iâve been anticipating her book since she first announced it and it does NOT disappoint!She covers so many topics in here but keeps it so down to earth and beginner friendly, it was truly a pleasure to sit down and read!Iâve done countless dosha quizzes and have always been confused by the results changing each time but with Brett I have now learned I am Vata and have implemented changes to help focus, ground and calm me âºï¸This book is the ideal way to dive deeper into yogic life or just dip your toe on the yogic waters but whatever you choose trust me when I say it will change and improve your life in so many beautiful ways!â¤ï¸
