Description
Like many people Carla McKay thought that yoga sounded a bit too good to be true for a celebrity fad. Things changed, however, when a friend persuaded her to give it try for a laugh after she separated from her husband. She did laugh - throughout. But the practice was also different from what she had expected. In The Reluctant Yogi she describes how her disbelief was slowly defeated, and asks experts what yoga does for her. She discovers that yoga has something for everyone of every shape and size, young to old - it will tone your body, calm your mind, make you sleep better, strengthen your bones, boost your immune system and even make you lose weight. Learning her asanas from her pranayama, her downward dog from her frog's position, Carla finds along the way how you, too, can make yoga change your life. And, what happened to her marriage you'll have to find out...
