Becoming Parvati: A Modern Exploration of the Yamas & Niyamas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578672359)

Yoga instructor and wellness coach, Julie Hillman, takes the reader through an exploration of these ancient yogic teachings. Focusing on the Yamas and Niyamas (ethical observances), Julie uses examples from modern everyday life to illustrate these doctrines. She shares techniques that can be used to integrate the Yamas and Niyamas into our own lives. Becoming Parvati serves as both an educational book as well as an ongoing study and reference guide.

Julie also shares some of her personal yoga journey. The reader learns about the beginnings of her yoga journey and discovers some of the struggles she encountered in her yoga practice. Julie also shares from her experience of receiving a spiritual name and reveals her inspiration to write this book.

Becoming Parvati is a book you will return to again and again, discovering new insights as you progress through your own journey of self-discovery.

Julie Hillman's "Becoming Parvati is a fresh take on the Yamas and Niyamas. Julie, having taken the Sanskrit name Parvati during the course of her spiritual journey, examines each of the ethical precepts of yoga through a 21st Century modern lens with a personal touch that presents a clear sense for the reader of what this is all about in the present moment of 2020.

The Yamas and Niyamas can be compared to the Ten Commandments, but it may be better to practice Aparigraha (one of the Yamas) and let go of that thought because this isn't about God or religion, it's about ourselves, our thoughts and our actions... Pavarti also shares with us her spiritual path from nutritionist to yoga student, practitioner, teacher and writer. Along the way, she introduces us to her influences... Pavarti does the lineage proud by presenting both its teachings and her path to the teachings which allow her to pass it all on to others in this present moment with 2020 vision."
