Q. Is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp?

Yoga is Fun - Teressa Asencia
Chapter One
Friendship
When we are happy, love radiates from us like light from the sun.
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
– William Wordsworth
This series of supporting and counterbalancing poses for two is designed to uncover the joy that is our true nature. Inherent in all the Yoga poses is the rasa or nectar that the pose reveals. This delightful series of stretching exercises and invigorating postures is designed to develop flexibility, strength and concentration as it inspires deeper friendship and transports us into the wellspring of joy that is always inside us.
