FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Yoga and ayurveda as keys for aging beautifully
“This book is an honest and light-hearted companion for fully embracing every day and every decade. Highly recommended!” —Dean Ornish, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Age Like a Yogi is an essential guide to living a long, vibrant and fulfilled life.” —Tara Stiles, author of Yoga Cures; co-founder of Strala Yoga
While advanced age is revered by some, very few are in a hurry to get there. This guide treats physical well-being and spiritual growth as two sides of a coin. It is custom-crafted for midlife and later by addressing both eternal verities and physical health. Yoga, the time-honored philosophy of which headstands and downward-facing dogs are only a fragment, doesn’t sugarcoat: physical life will end and material joys, as lovely as they can be, are temporary. In acknowledging our true nature, the eternal divinity that is our essence, we have the best shot at well-being on every level.
Victoria Moran’s new book explores spiritual awakening yoga-style, and the fundamentals of yoga’s sister science, ayurveda, for care of the body. No one is too young to take up these practices, and no one is too old.
Age Like a Yogi: A Heavenly Path to a Dazzling Third Act (Paperback original; ISBN 978-1958972595; 234 pages, US $19.99) not only gives the reader immediately applicable tools for spiritual awareness and physical health in the post-fifty decades, but also a way to leave this world kinder, safer, saner, and a little more beautiful. It publishes on January 14, 2025.

“The author, a longtime yogi and prolific self-help writer, here focuses her attention on the concept of aging. While acknowledging that genetics and lifestyle choices greatly influence how one ages, she also draws attention to the cultural and spiritual aspects of the process. . . . A thoughtful and engaging reflection on what it means to get older, both physically and spiritually.” —Kirkus Reviews
