Rachel Bonkink has written a book that makes yoga practical. - Paul Grilley, leading Yin Yoga innovator and teacher
My dear friend Rachel has made it her mission to provide a fresh interpretation of the ancient yogic wisdom and to make it relatable to our modern-day world. Written with a mix of humour, vulnerability, personal experience and extensive study, this inspiring book will guide and support readers on their path towards a more authentic and meaningful life. - Carole Dieltiëns
To translate the ancient yoga philosophy teachings and make them accessible for everyone is no easy task. In this book, Rachel has done a fine job in making these concepts and ideas relevant, offering a practical and easy to understand application for integrating them into daily life. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Rachel many times over a number of years, and have observed how she weaves the philosophy of yoga into her workshops and classes in a very down to earth and inclusive way. Highly recommended reading for yoga students and teachers or indeed anyone interested in deeper self reflection. - Hayley North, Yoga & Movement Teacher/Holistic Chef and founder of Holistic Kitchen Academy
Rachel’s new book is not about yoga as we know it. It’s about stretching your mind and becoming more fully yourself, the person you were meant to be. She has written an outstanding treatise that lovingly, kindly, and humorously introduces us to the 10 yogic principles to help us be more fulfi lled and happy. As a psychologist, this book makes my heart sing! Thanks, Rachel, for sharing your joy with the world. - Jennifer Wisdom, PhD MPH, Author of Millennials’ Guide to Work and Millennials’ Guide to Management and Leadership
In her own unique and candid way, Rachel created a book on how to flex your mind. This book is feisty, thought provoking, humorous and has tremendous depth at the same time. Rachel guides you through ten powerful and challenging yoga principles. These principles will profoundly change your Being; on the mat, in your daily life and in your world. At home or at work, we can all learn from this astonishing book! - Riet Lenaerts, Corporate Shaman, Shaman-Shape-Teacher
Rachel has translated universal and deeply human wisdom into clear guidelines. It’s compelling and instructive at the same time. A must read in these confusing times. - Yamila Idrissi, founder of Kahwa Agency and Riad Feinek in Marrakech
