Announcing the next book for our reading group: "The Wisdom of Yoga" by Stephen Cope.
If you are interested in signing up (totally free) and receiving e-mails about the times planned and reading assignments, please e-mail me by this Saturday. After that I will switch all book-related e-mails to only those on the book group list, so as not to clutter everyone else's inboxes.
I do encourage attending all meetings for the sake of the discussion, but I understand if you have to miss one (or more). Don't let that stop you from signing up if you're interested. (Or, if you'd rather read the book on your own and not attend the meetings, that's fine too.) The last thing I want is for this to become a "school project" hanging over your heads. Read, enjoy and benefit as much as you want to, I say.

[note: it is available for free shipping if order is over $25, so if you want to buy ahead, I'd recommend Pema Chodron's "Start Where You Are"]
[another note: if you need to borrow a copy (and you're not a highlighter) for the sake of saving money, I can probably convince a few friends to loan out their copy. . .just let me know]
The reason I like this book is that for those of you who read through "Heart of Yoga," this dovetails nicely into the sutras using the discussion on the mind we just finished. Even so, you don't need to have read the first book to understand this one. . .
I am thinking we'll break the book up into sections, like last time, and finish it in three months (taking a break during December before we start the next in January).
The following are tentative dates (all Sundays, from 2:30-4): Sept. 28 (first meeting), Oct. 26 and Nov. 23. Reading assignments to follow. . .
