In the fugue of deep meditation, Jaya Devi tumbles outdoors into a muggy south Florida dawn. Sliding on a pair of orange flip-flops, she cuts across a dirt path skirting the ashram lawn. She glances down as a fat black snake slithers up her bare leg, wrapping itself tight. Astonished, she pauses, exemplifying the yogi's art of non-reaction, breathing and assessing. Here, we enter into the wild wisdom-experience of a modern yogi who uses each moment as fuel for personal transformation.

Embodied reveals an array of relevant, effective tools for thriving in today's upside-down world. Part memoir, part thought leadership, part toolkit for modern living, Embodied is accessible, deep, darkly humorous, and inspiring.

Swami tackles topics like how to change our relationship with our suffering and embody the courage to grow from it. Whether you're a new yogi, a seasoned meditator, or someone struggling with the stress of contemporary living, Embodied inspires us to keep our cup half full while teaching us techniques to live a richer, more fulfilling life.
