I absolutely adore reading. Give me a high-vibe book and a quiet afternoon, and you have one calm and centered busy working mom. Reading about yoga in particular has always inspired and enlightened me. Whether learning about a pose, sequence or style that’s new to me, or deepening my knowledge about yoga philosophy, I soak up every ounce of it.

Practice It: 3 Yoga Books to Read

Check out the quick list of my top three yoga books with a modern-day self-care twist to raise your vibration.

1. 108 Yoga and Self-Care Practices for Busy Mamas by Julie M. Gentile I wrote this book at the height of my busy life as a full-time working mom of young children, yoga teacher and communications manager. The practices on these pages are real-life practices I use to help me navigate the chaos of daily life as a busy mom, and they can help you, too. The focus on your inner work is fun and interactive, and it will inspire you to stand up for your self-care in a world that is constantly demanding more from you.

2. Aim True: Love Your Body, Eat Without Fear, Nourish Your Spirit, Discover True Balance! by Kathryn Budig A yoga book, cookbook and wellness guide all in one, this book is an excellent resource that will help you thrive on and off your mat. Kathryn's teaching style and creativity shine in this book.

3. The Inspired Yoga Teacher by Gabrielle Harris This inspirational and engaging book is a much-needed resource for both yoga teachers and yoga students. As she writes in the book, "Sometimes we are so intent on improving ourselves that we forget to take time out to be OK with who and where we are in life. If we continually strive to push forward, we me may become depleted in the impossible search to be good enough. Yoga is the journey to loving all parts of ourselves."
