In this book, a companion to An Offering of Leaves, much-loved Jivamukti Yoga teacher ,Ruth Lauer-Manenti, ('Lady Ruth') offers over forty more of the 'dharma talks' that she gives at the beginning of each yoga class. Her reflections - complete with the Sanskrit verses that are the source of her studies, as well as the English transliteration and translation - are at once poignant and practical and both minutely observed and expansive in their implications for our inner and outer lives.
