We are excited to announce the release of Sara Adams’ book, Being Human: The Yamas & Niyamas. Sara’s work is now available for purchase at book retailers worldwide!

In recent years, the practice of yoga has been heavily westernized. Some might criticize how far we have deviated from its origins, yet yoga’s increasing popularity has touched many more lives than it otherwise would have. While an asana practice is becoming a normal part of the day for many of us, yoga’s deeper teachings are often left unexplored.

The Yamas and Niyamas are a foundational part of yoga beyond asana. The Yamas show us how our choices and actions impact the world and its people. Their practice helps us step lightly through life as we become more intentional. The Niyamas teach us about ourselves. When we focus inward, we begin to notice patterns that reveal our opportunities, our purpose, and our truest self.

Being Human explores each Yama and Niyama from a lens of imperfection and without the expectation of a destination. When we begin our journey knowing that there is no finish line, we open doors we might have left closed. And when we accept that we can’t get it “right” or “wrong,” we create space for life to unfold without expectation.

Congratulations to Phillip A. Weaver on the release of his new book, I am L.I.A.M.!

The F.B.I.’s super computer produces a list of cases, which it deems are related. The profile team finds no connections between any of the cases. How do you check if a super computer is malfunctioning?

S.A.I. Super artificial intelligence is the next step in the evolution of technology. Government, science, law enforcement, and the military, collectively spark a giant leap forward; in an effort to catch a serial killer. A truly fresh set of eyes to seek out a ghost.

This new awareness which holds an infinite amount of information, potential, and possibility. Mankind can produce such great achievements, and yet be ever so barbarous.

We are excited to congratulate Margaret Farrell Kirby on the release of her new book, Becoming Nora!

Becoming Nora explores how unexamined pasts and repressed emotions can simmer beneath a seemingly ordinary and happy marriage.

Until the day her husband shattered her world with the news that he was unhappy and wanted a separation, Nora Stanton had been sure her life was settled, perfect in fact. At age forty, they had everything: good careers, a nice house, and two children-just as planned.

Had she concocted an image of a happy family? How had she been so oblivious?

Nora is forced to face her misconceptions and to uncover parts of herself that had gotten buried in the day-to-day containment of her marriage. As she learns to free herself, she finds herself making choices the old Nora could not have imagined.
