Amy Weintraub
Author of Yoga for Depression and Yoga Skills for Therapists
“True Yoga is an amazingly comprehensive book of life, each section crafted with clarity, humility, and love. Almost everywhere we go we see the physical manifestation of yoga. What we don’t see are its universal inner qualities. Jennie Lee has opened our eyes and made this often misunderstood practice remarkably accessible. Truly brilliant, life-affirming work.”
Graham Salisbury
Award winning author of Under the Blood Red Sun
“By drawing on real-world trials and tribulations, Lee brings the Sutras to life. She explores how they might help with the tedium of sitting in traffic; the sensory overload from too much time on the Internet; the breakup of a marriage; or the stress and tension of raising a family while working full time.”
“In True Yoga, Jennie Lee has created a heartfelt exploration of the eight limbs that has a permanent place on my yoga bookshelf. It’s the kind of book you read not once, but over and over, cover to cover or piece by piece, always finding something new or different. No yoga experience is required, yet even seasoned practitioners will find the book worthwhile.”
“A wonderfully fresh, practical and down-to-earth guide to applying the sage wisdom of the Yoga Sutras to contemporary everyday life. Even if you have several translations of the Yoga Sutras this book offers a unique perspective and deserves a place in your Yoga library.”
Donna Farhi
Author of Bringing Yoga to Life
“With True Yoga Jennie Lee interprets the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy for a modern Western audience with clarity and simplicity to joyfully and meaningfully apply its power to cope with life’s stresses as well as enjoy its rewards. Her inspirational writing uplifts the heart, body and soul.”

“In this work (Lee) does for the Sutras what Coleman Barks’ translations did for Rumi. She gives these ancient writings an up-to-date rendering that makes them exciting and relevant to our times.”
