Tara Stiles (33) is a multi-talent: yoga rebel, ex-model, ballet dancer, founder of Strala Yoga, author. She founded her own yoga studio in 2008 in New York City. Here she lives with "Strala Yoga" a non-dogmatic, sporty yoga style, free of constraints and strict rules. There is no spiritual accessory. Asanas, breathing techniques and meditation are taught. "For me, it's important that people understand that yoga is not an elitist club, and I'll go straight to the point to convey that."

More fun and less stress

The author also uncomplicatedly encourages her own path to a healthy life in her fourth book "Your Yoga, Your Life". also in nutrition issues. Because most diets, Stiles say, do not ask for individual needs. "It's not about counting calories, doing sports all the time and worrying about everything, it's about getting to know yourself so the body gets strong and beautiful from the inside out."

The most important thing is to find access to your own energy, strength and your own potential. Tara Stiles sets a good example, describing authentically and personally how she found to yoga, meditation and vegan food. It shows why it is so important to listen to yourself and your own intuition. "Being in touch with yourself and being aware of yourself automatically leads to the right path," says Tara Stiles.

For this to work, she introduces the reader in three chapters to the most important tools and methods for a fulfilling, self-determined life. "The program is simple and effective, focusing on the yoga mat, the meditation cushion and the kitchen."

Keep it simple!

With the book "Your Yoga, your life" Tara Stiles wants to leave room. No rules, only possibilities. So that everyone finds his own way? also in the diet. Little downer: Tara Stiles presents in her book? according to yogic rule? exclusively vegan recipes. In addition, there is a guide to the "7-day quick start program" and a "30-day transformation plan". It creeps in the impression that it is not possible without rules and regulations.

Apart from that, Tara delights us with her "Keep it simple" attitude. The book conveys a convincing authenticity and credibility. The illustrated yoga and breathing exercises on which the author herself can be seen, the 50 quick recipes that have been tried out by her and put together for the book? they emphasize the "Do what you love" motto. And we like that. A lot!

The book has been published by the publishing group Droemer Knaur and is available in hardcover for 19.99 euros.
