Additional info available on: www.YogaInYourSchool.com and www.FamilyYogaBook.com Her book, Bonnerue, is now available on Amazon. Q. What is the inspiration for the story? A.The inspiration for this story is based on my experience of teaching prisoners on a Road Camp in Virginia, going to Graduate School in Criminology in New York City, working for the Prisoners Union in San Francisco and writing a book about treatment in prisons for American Correctional Association. Q. Is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp? A.One of the prisoners I taught to read, wrote a story about how he had spent his entire life in prison for fighting State Authorities who came to his home to take away his baby son. He was the funniest and happiest person I had ever met. His ability to transcend his own shackles inspired "Bonnerue".

      Yoga is Fun - Teressa Asencia

      Chapter One

      Friendship

      When we are happy, love radiates from us like light from the sun.

      With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things. – William Wordsworth

      This series of supporting and counterbalancing poses for two is designed to uncover the joy that is our true nature. Inherent in all the Yoga poses is the rasa or nectar that the pose reveals. This delightful series of stretching exercises and invigorating postures is designed to develop flexibility, strength and concentration as it inspires deeper friendship and transports us into the wellspring of joy that is always inside us.
