From being photographed by Pamela Hanson for my first professional portfolio in the wheat fields of Colorado, I have navigated a journey of fantastic and sometimes blistering experiences with over four decades of yoga, meditation, and Ayurvedic diet. I started blind in Paris on a one-way ticket to make it as a professional model. After months of fruitless auditioning, on pluck and providence, Guy Bourdin considered one of France's most famous fashion artists and photographers, took one concerted look at me and booked me for 6 months at French Vogue. From his photos and legacy, my image is now in museums worldwide.
Then contracted as a model with Eileen Ford, who brought me from Paris to New York, exuberant and riding high on the energy, I broke both arms pedaling a bike down Fifth Avenue to a Mademoiselle shoot. Always intent on Showing Up, I went to the Ralph Lauren show the very next day, as I was cast to walk the runway and sadly had to observe instead, double-casted. This immediately sparked my advocacy for model protection, and I was one of the first to advocate for emergency insurance. When privacy on set for models became a reoccurring issue, I used my voice and championed those privacy rights along with Jerry Hall.
In my next stage, I stood on my head to audition for The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School where I graced the same boards as Sir Daniel Day-Lewis and Sir Anthony Hopkins. While still modeling and acting, I raised two very young children, living a very full householder life. I happened to be the daughter-in-law of Laura Ashley who created a fashion empire and left us a legacy championing women, a reason you often saw Princess Diana wearing Laura Ashley.
Hopefully, my stories of being poked, provoked, and confronted, which eventually led to surrender, change, and elevated awakening, will resonate with your experiences and provide guidance and support as you find a way in and through your challenges to make your life full of love, humor, and forgiveness, compassionately honoring yourself, others, and the planet more carefully and intimately. Let us meet and greet each other with love along the way, blending our hearts, communities, and paths into One.

One big secret to growing older with confidence, dignity and style, is hidden in two words - Chair Yoga.
More than 20% of all yoga enthusiasts are 60 or older, and that number is steadily growing. It's not surprising to see why.
Yoga has a host of health benefits that improve the quality of life of older adults. It strengthens bones, improves balance and stability, enhances flexibility and joint health, and helps with mobility.
As a result, you'll be able to keep moving, stay independent, and continue doing the things you love to do, such as taking a walk outdoors, playing with your grandkids, or traveling the world, throughout your golden years.
An added benefit is the beautiful sense of tranquility that descends on you when doing yoga in any form. It can hone your mind into a level of focus, awareness, and calm, that has a positive knock-on effect on every part of your life.
But if you have physical limitations, you may be wondering if it's possible for you to do yoga.
Not to worry - you can still practice yoga and experience the numerous benefits it has to offer. And you don't need to do anything that's too active or physically challenging either.
There are forms of yoga that are very gentle on your body and easy to do... and you only need a chair to do it.
In this practical and helpful handbook, you will discover:
And much more.
None of the yoga movements in this book will require any great muscle strength or mobility. You can do these workouts at home, including exercises for beginners and more advanced practitioners. You can build up each pose slowly, gently, and at your own pace. The exercises are also perfect for group activities.
Yoga is for everyone, and as you continue your practice, you'll find that you're capable of so much more than you think.
Enjoy better health, higher strength, more confidence, and improved mobility with less pain. No matter where you are at, don't give up on yourself.
Keep living life to the fullest with chair yoga.
Forty-four million Americans suffer from low bone mass, and osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually. Drugs and surgeries can alleviate pain, but study after study has shown that exercise is the best treatment, specifically low-impact, bone-strengthening exercises. Yoga strengthens bones without endangering joints: it stands to reason that yoga is the perfect therapy for osteoporosis. In this comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated guide, Loren Fishman, MD, an experienced clinician, helps readers understand osteoporosis and give a spectrum of exercises for beginners and experts.
Lyrical. Poignant. Funny. Captures the essence of living as a perpetual outsider in Israel. Sarah Tuttle-Singer, author of Jerusalem, Drawn and Quartered
American-born Jennifer traces her journey-both on and off the yoga mat-reckoning with her adopted country (Israel), midlife hormones (merciless), cross-cultural marriage (to a Frenchman) and their imminent empty nest (a mixed blessing), eventually realizing the words her yoga teachers had been offering for the past twenty-three years: root down into the ground and stay true to yourself. Finally, she understands that home is about who you are, not where you live. Written in experimental chapterettes, Landed spans seven years (and then some), each punctuated with chakra wisdom from nationally-acclaimed Rodney Yee, her first teacher.
