Fallen Star

<p>After being married for ten years and having two children author and yogi Molly Chanson lives with a nagging feeling that something is wrong. Her suspicion that her husband is having an affair is further complicated by her addiction to alcohol poor body image and a lost sense of self. Having first practiced yoga with her mother as a child Chanson returns to a daily practice and discovers the profound impact that yoga can have on one's physical mental and spiritual well-being. <em>Fallen Star</em> is Chanson's account of her far-reaching journey of healing guided by Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga which includes asana (poses) pranayama (breath) and meditation as well as self-discipline surrender and more. Chanson shows how the tenets of ancient yoga philosophy can be applied to a broad spectrum of experiences shared by women ranging from dating marriage and motherhood to loss of identity and focus on one's appearance. Here are lessons for women who seek to unravel stories and pain that have prevented them from living a complete and fulfilled life to find their true selves and to awaken to new possibilities. Here is a story about tapping into the resilience courage and hope lying deep within the human spirit. </p>
