Stephen Cope asked 25 yoga and meditation teachers to share their "tales from the path" – their thoughts on how the long-term practice of yoga and meditation has changed their lives. The result is a unique collection of stories offering insight and inspiration for everyone seeking a more satisfying life. The author of Will Yoga & Meditation Really Change My Life?, Stephen Cope is a psychotherapist and yoga teacher. He is also the Director of the Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living. In this collection of intensely personal and profoundly inspirational essays and interviews, 25 leading North American teachers of yoga and Buddhist meditation tell their stories of how the practice of these rich and varied spiritual traditions has made an enduring impact on their lives...and how it can transform yours.
