Description:

Jessica struggled with severely fluctuating weight until she took her first yoga class in Katmandu, lost 40 pounds, and changed her life forever. She shares the core principles of yoga philosophyâ€”not the poses and postures, but the ancient system of ideas that lies behind them, drawn from a 2,000 year old text called the Yoga Sutras. Beyond health and dieting, enLIGHTened shows readers how to gain peace of mind.
