About Deborah Charnes:
“From the Boxing Ring to the Ashram: Wisdom for Mind, Body and Spirit” reveals wisdom from prior eras in faraway lands. The author, Deborah Charnes, one of the first bilingual certified yoga therapists, features free or inexpensive ways to jumpstart or reignite one’s health and happiness. The beauty of these tips is that they can be practiced in as little as ten minutes a day. The author culled the advice from her modern-day gurus. Some are swamis wearing orange robes or dressed in white from head to toe. Others don lab coats, feathered headdresses, combat boots, or boxing gloves.
The diverse dozen, represent multiple religions, ethnicities, and countries of origin. Regardless of their differences, they are all yogis even if they’ve never stepped on a yoga mat. Through following in the footsteps of their elders or sages, coupled with lifelong studies, they have found union between self and the supreme, and body, mind, and spirit.
This book, filled with painless and proven pearls of wisdom, offers what our society is aching for to alleviate physical and emotional suffering. It includes the author’s testimonies, as well as recent research findings to validate the ancient pearls of wisdom being kept alive by the 12 gurus.
Deborah’s deep commitment to helping others achieve maximum well-being led her to teach yoga and lead therapeutic workshops in the US, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Italy, and India.
