Discover effective methods for maintaining positive thoughts, managing stress, improving communication, and building new habits for success.  Whether challenged by work, health, relationships, or parenting, this book will help readers achieve lasting happiness and freedom from the stress of modern living.Integrating the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras into an accessible format, using daily practices, self-inquiry questions, and inspiring affirmations, Lee puts the formula for enduring happiness within your reach. Praise: "True Yoga outlines the grandeur of this path we call Yoga, and how it encompasses and refines our inner and outer lives.  It is a real gift."― Nischala Joy Devi, author of Healing Path of Yoga and The Secret Power of Yoga "This beautiful, wise, and exceedingly practical guide on how to live our true yoga is destined to be a classic."―Leza Lowitz, author of Yoga Poems, Yoga Heart, and Here Comes The Sun Review "In this work (Lee) does for the Sutras what Coleman Barks’ translations did for Rumi. She gives these ancient writings an up-to-date rendering that makes them exciting and relevant to our times...In the introduction to True Yoga, Jennie Lee asks the question: “What if, no matter what was happening in your life, good or bad, you could answer, Yes! I am happy! Your first response might be, Well, that would be wonderful, but it’s impossible”. In the Epilogue you will find Jennie Lee’s very moving personal story about caring for her mother at the end of her life. Her story may inspire you to weave the threads of the yoga sutras into your own rare and beautiful life. In doing so you just might discover how something that sounds impossible at first, truly is possible." ~LifeForce Yoga Research Newsletter Review "By drawing on real-world trials and tribulations, Lee brings the Sutras to life. She explores how they might help with the tedium of sitting in traffic; the sensory overload from too much time on the Internet; the breakup of a marriage; or the stress and tension of raising a family while working full time. Each chapter begins with a translation of the Sutra and then delves into an explanation of how it applies to normal, modern, everyday life.... The significance of love as the driving force of yoga philosophy is a theme Lee continually returns to. She invokes it often, as in the chapter on ahimsa (peacefulness) - “Love and calmness are stronger than anger;” satya (truthfulness) - “Whatever is anchored in love is truth and we can always trust truth when it is based in love;” and aparigraha (appreciation) - “As we magnify the love in our hearts through the perspective of abundance, we receive the benevolence of life and the understanding of our greatest sense of purpose.” The last page of the book contains her strongest claim regarding love: “There is nothing greater than love. It is the Essence of who we all are.” ...It’s easy to glean from Lee’s heartfelt description of each Sutra that she has gone beyond mere study of the Sutras to actually incorporate them into her life, and her commentary seems to spring from this.” ~ Yoga U Online Review "Full of thought-provoking questions and suggestions, (True Yoga) can be incorporated into a daily self-reflection exercise...The book is also an ideal long-term reference that can be reread often; as life experiences continue and evolve, the questions and suggestions will take on new meaning and offer fresh guidance. Lee's advice is supportive and will interest those who already practice the physical aspects of yoga but
