to 14 prominent yoga teachers and therapists in Sharing
Sadhana....This is not a practice-based instructional book; rather,

story. Bailey invites (and inspires) all yogis to make a personal
yoga practice exactly that: uniquely their own.

inner joy.

Victoria Bailey's book Sharing Sadhana: Insights and
Inspiration for a Personal Yoga Practice is a lovely support to new

books that offer outlined practices, this book inspires the reader

teachers Bailey has interviewed for her book. This intimate
view into the making of a yoga practice demonstrates the organic
evolution of sadhana and the truly personal nature of one's
"personal practice". Through it students of yoga who have strived
to find the 'perfect' practice will be reassured that there is no
one 'right' way. Honest, moving, and encouraging, the stories
shared in this book beckon us to discover the practice which
authentically expresses and supports who we are in each present
moment.
*Robin Rothenberg, certified yoga therapist, Essential Yoga
Therapy*
Sharing Sadhana is a comprehensive, sweet look at the concept of
sadhana from a wide swath of traditions. Each thoughtful chapter
captures the heart of each teacher, providing inspiration, maps for
contentment and tools for practice. A thoroughly enjoyable
read.
*Elena Bower, founder, VIRAYOGA and Art of Attention*
Yoga sadhana truly begins when we fall in love with learning for
its own sake, without goal in mind. When practice blossoms in love,
it gives rise to wisdom forged by the proper functionings of mind,
body, emotion, devotion, and surrender. Sadhana then becomes the
means whereby bondage becomes liberation. In her book, Sharing
Sadhana, Victoria explores the ins and outs of how some of
America’s most devoted proponents of yoga discovered and forged
their own yoga sadhana through years of daily practice and
challenge until it became an essential part of their everyday life
and they realized that sadhana, instead of them finding it, had
found them. Sharing Sadhana is helpful reading for everyone
yearning to discover a personal practice that is forever fresh and
revitalizing, and can show us our way back home to our heartfelt
connection with ourselves, and all of life.

for Deep Relaxation and Healing, president of the Integrative
Restoration Institute, co-founder of the International Association
of Yoga Therapy*
