MY YOGA ROUTINE

About the Book

MY YOGA ROUTINE is a complete yoga workout in the Kripalu style, consisting of warm-ups, ten postures, and resting positions, explained and illustrated in a straight forward language suitable for any level student, from beginner to advanced.  Also, the book is appropriate for use as a beginning yoga instructor’s manual.  The instructions are easy to understand and clearly illustrated.  Special attention is paid to explaining safety precautions.

In each section, there is a THINGS TO REMEMBER page.  Half of the page is lined for written notes and, half, to draw pictures of what the reader wishes to remember, visually.  In the back of the book, there is a JOURNAL section to keep a diary of your experiences while working with the routine.

The hope of the author is that MY YOGA ROUTINE provides the reader with an inspiring, yet, ‘safe and sound’ exercise program.

About the Author

Celeste Hardy is the daughter of a retired nuclear physicist born of an old French Creole family from New Orleans, Louisiana.  Her mother who is deceased was a one-room schoolhouse teacher who taught in the wilds of Wyoming in the 1930’s.  In her youth, Celeste was surrounded by music, literature, and the study of world civilizations, their religions and cultures.  Her interests include the reading of the folklore of indigenous peoples, art history, the study of piano, ballroom dancing, and chess.

Ms. Hardy is a private yoga teacher trained in the Kripalu style by The Energy Center in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.  She, also, is a self-employed portrait artist with degrees in Visual Communications, Studio Art, and Figurative Drawing.  She lives in New Providence, New Jersey, near her father, daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law.  Her older daughter lives in California with Ms. Hardy’s other granddaughter.

Ms. Hardy says, “These postures work for me.  I use them, everyday.  They have contributed to my feeling of well-being and self-control.  Therefore, I believe that what I am offering the reader is a ‘tried and true’ program, compatible with our modern fast-paced lifestyle.”
