Like most everyone I know, I get a whole lot of email. Every day, at all hours, there are messages streaming into my inbox. Subjects are usually some combination of the necessary and less-than-necessary business of yoga, but every once in a while, something special comes through. Those who are connected to me through social media may have already seen this, but even so, it's worth reading again:

Good morning. I am writing to let you know how you helped save my life.

No matter your age, the back-to-school season can spark a thirst for knowledge. What better to quench that thirst than a great book? Celebrate the changing season by selecting a new book from the blue boutique to support your growth this fall.

Here are some of the blue community's favorites:

• Practice You: A Journal created by Elena Brower includes beautiful pages of questions, teachings and inspirational imagery with space to write, draw, and reflect.

• In Outrageous Openness: Letting the Divine Take the Lead, Tosha Silver encourages readers to let go of worry and fear and let the Divine be the guide on the journey through life.  

• Meditations, visualizations and other exercises designed to help readers radiate positivity and shield themselves from destructive thoughts are found in How to Heal Toxic Thoughts by Sandra Ingerman. 

Peruse the book section after class, chat with a fellow yogi, or ask a teacher for a recommendation and pick up your next great read!
