Pioneering Vinyasa Yoga: A Daily Practice

My amazing brother, Doug, has a new book—Pioneering Vinyasa Yoga: The Adventure and Daily Practice. It’s a beautiful presentation of yoga through his own eyes and decades of dedication. New students will find practical guidance; experienced teachers will discover fresh inspiration and refined cues.

What you’ll find inside

This holistic volume blends down-to-earth instructions with thoughtful stories and striking imagery. You’ll meet a gallery of renowned teachers, explore simple nutrition ideas to support practice, and learn how pranayama fits naturally into everyday life. From morning routines to evening wind-downs, Doug shows how a few mindful breaths of pranayama can transform attention, energy, and recovery.

Practice made personal

Doug’s approach invites you to meet yourself where you are—on busy days with a short vinyasa, on spacious days with a deeper sit in padmasana lotus. Clear, accessible steps help you approach padmasana lotus with patience and respect for your body, while sequencing templates make it easy to adapt flow to your needs. Throughout, he returns to pranayama as the quiet thread that steadies movement and mind.

A companion for teachers and lifelong learners

Whether you’re crafting yoga class plans or rebuilding a home rhythm, you’ll appreciate the book’s balance of technique and heart. It reads like a conversation with a trusted mentor—equal parts practical roadmap and gentle encouragement. The result is a guide you’ll reach for again and again: revisit a breathing pattern of pranayama, refine your seat in padmasana lotus, or simply refuel your inspiration before stepping on the mat.

Take this yoga book off the shelf, dive into its current of wisdom, and let it illuminate your own journey—body, breath, and spirit. May its stories, yoga practices, and images inspire daily consistency, quiet courage, compassionate focus, and playful curiosity wherever your path unfolds.
