    Hi, I attended your “Befriend Your Body” seminar at the Vancouver Yoga show and it was the most moving seminar of the weekend for me. The lessons that you taught will stay with me for the rest of my life. I was hoping that there might be a book or MP3 or something that you had produced with the same content. Is there something? Thank you so much for the seminar!

      Hi Christina! My book Yoga for Pain Relief has a chapter on Befriending the Body, with lots of the ideas and exercises/contemplations we did. Also, there are 2 relevant MP3s on this page: listening to your body, and a body gratitude practice. http://yogaforpainrelief.com/resources.html

      Thank you for being at the conference!
      Best,
      Kelly

    Hi, thank you for the great material at this site. I was wondering what the difference is between the two books “The Willpower Instinct” and “Maximum Willpower”?
    Also, which book would you recommend for someone working with anxiety and depression?
    Kind Regards from Gothenburg, Sweden

      They are the same book — Maximum Willpower is what the UK publisher decided to call it. I don’t know if they edited the book much, or if it is exactly the same. So whichever cover appeals to you, I guess! :) Chapters 6 and 9 are especially relevant for anxiety and depression. I hope that the ideas in the book will provide you with some tools and support.

    I am not usually touched by a book, especially a “self help” title. It usually feels to me like they all say the same thing, just shuffled around to sound like something new. I definitely did NOT feel that way about The Willpower Instinct. I don’t want to assume that your book will change my life yet but it sure feels like it will. Thank you.

    Just finished the “Willpower Instinct” at 40,000 feet on a flight back home. This book is inrcredible and I must have told 10 people about it even before I finished it. As is my reading practice, I will now go back and re-read it in ten weeks and formally apply principles….wow..is about all I can say…my hardest part will be NOT trying it on ALL areas I feel I can use it.at ONE TIME….Thanks for a great book and I look forward to maybe jumping ont eh blog and seeing what others say….Thanks again!

    Hi Kelly. I am a chronic pain patient as well as a yoga teacher and I must say I LOVE Yoga for Pain Relief. I recommend it to all of my students who are in chronic pain as well as other teachers. It has been immensely helpful for me and I refer back to it time and time again. I’ve even shared a copy with the psychologist at the pain center and he has been recommending it to the other patients! Thank you! I look forward to reading your other books as well.
