Stillness in the Storm: A Conscious Daily Journal of Yoga & Spiritual Healing
Trust yourself. Love yourself. Keep it simple.
By Andrea L. Wehlann
More than just a yoga journal.
Lovingly crafted and illustrated, this book is designed to meet you at the intersection of your mind and spirit, to bring you to that still point in your mind when you bring pen to paper, and to celebrate the power of hearing the heart in the here and now.
With plenty of space to write down your innermost thoughts and feelings, this yoga journal also gives you gentle prompts and ideas that will inspire you to create a space for love, kindness and compassion in your heart. In addition, you’ll find step-by-step Hatha yoga sequences that will help you incorporate the eight limbs of yoga into your life. Perform these sequences as and when your heart tells you to, on their own, or as part of your daily reflection.
