Moving into meditation
Book Description
Discover how to weave together the ancient practices of yoga and meditation into a unified path of awakening. Anne Cushman presents a thoughtful 12-week journey that transforms the popular concept of "mindful yoga" from trendy buzzword into lived, embodied experience.
This practical guide reveals how physical postures and breathing practices can become gateways to deeper meditation, while mindfulness awareness enriches every movement and stretch. Cushman draws from decades of teaching experience to show how your body becomes a vehicle for exploring Buddhist wisdom and cultivating genuine presence.
Each week builds systematically through the Buddha's four foundations of mindfulness, offering a clear progression that honors both traditions. The author's warm, humorous voice brings accessibility to profound teachings, sharing personal insights from years of practice that make the spiritual journey feel refreshingly human.
Rather than treating yoga and meditation as separate disciplines, this approach demonstrates their natural interconnection. You'll learn how asanas support contemplative awareness and how meditation deepens physical practice, creating an integrated foundation for spiritual growth.
Cushman addresses essential questions for modern practitioners: How do we move beyond surface-level mindfulness to authentic transformation? How can ancient Buddhist teachings speak to contemporary life through our own breathing, moving bodies?
With compassion and intelligence, this guide offers both beginners and experienced practitioners a structured path toward embodying wisdom, one week and one breath at a time.
