Yoga Off the Mat
The full power of yoga isn’t in the poses—it’s in the wisdom behind them. Yoga Off the Mat shows you how to bring yogic wisdom and philosophy into everyday life for deeper meaning, balance, and joy.
Drawing from ancient tradition, modern science, and more than 50 years of combined teaching experience, Rountree and DeSiato offer clear explanations, practical exercises, and compassionate guidance to help you integrate yoga’s timeless philosophy into your daily rhythms.
Yoga Off the Mat offers timeless wisdom you can integrate into your daily life at home, at work, and out in the world.

—Gabrielle Harris, author of The Language of Yin, The Inspired Yoga Teacher, and Lessons in Meditation
