About this item

From a rebellious young woman with a dangerous heroin habit to a globe-trotting fashion model to "First Lady of Yoga" (The New York Times) , Colleen Saidman Yee tells the remarkable story of how she found herself through the healing power of yoga - and then inspired others to do the same.I've learned how to extract the beauty of an ordinary day. I've learned that the best high exists in the joy - or the sadness - of the present moment. Yoga allows me to surf the ripples and sit with the mud, while catching glimpses of the clarity of my home at the bottom of the lake: my true self. The very first time Saidman Yee took a yoga class, she left feeling inexplicably different - something inside had shifted. She felt alive - so alive that yoga became the center of her life, helping her come to terms with her insecurities and find her true identity and voice.
