Yoga For Freedom
What happens when you take a group of yoga students and teachers from Cleveland, Ohio half-way around the world to Nepal to experience the beauty of that amazing country and to raise awareness about the awful practice of child slavery in that part of the world?
Author John P. Vourlis answers this and many other questions in Yoga For Freedom, a unique travel book about 20 Americans who returned home forever changed after a two-week trip to Nepal, where they not only visited some of the holiest spiritual sites of Buddhism and the country's spectacular natural wonders, but also spent time at both a private and a government-run orphanage in Kathmandu, as well as an orphanage in western Nepal that was on the front lines of the child slavery problem.
Mr. Vourlis takes the reader on a magical journey that combines social reportage from a faraway land steeped in the mystique of the Himalayas, with a fascinating, poignant, and at times funny journey of self-reflection for this group of diverse travelers.
"When you change your focus from limitations to boundless possibilities, from doubt and fear to love and confidence, you open your world in entirely new ways," says Baron Baptiste, international best-selling author of Journey into Power and My Daddy Is A Pretzel and founder of Baptiste Yoga, states about Yoga For Freedom.
Yoga For Freedom is "a very personal account of a journey of self-discovery, refracted through the roller coaster ride of interpersonal exchange among a disparate group of travelers in the ancient land of Buddha," says Anup Kumar, Associate Professor of Communication, Cleveland State University, and author of The Making of a Small State.
The book contains over 300 incredible color photographs taken by several excellent, professional photographers who went on the trip and is based in large part on the journals kept by each member of the group. The serendipity of the excerpts from these journals at first catches you unaware, but then as you move along in the journey with the author he makes you feel, in a special sort of way, as if you are a member of this diverse group.
