In today’s world of constant email, social updates, time-crunched schedules, ailments, and generally high-intensity surroundings, studies show that consistent practice of short movement throughout the day can be a powerful antidote. Yoga leads to greater clarity and calmness-but we can’t always get to a class. Instead, we must find a way to take it with us.

Now, instructor Christine Chen has done just that. In HAPPY-GO-YOGA, readers will learn how to transform discomfort and chaos-at home, in the office, during a commute, on a plane, on a date-into bits of happiness, health, and focus, no matter their fitness level, yoga experience, age, or gender. It takes traditional poses and translates them into moments that can fit any reader’s situation or current surroundings. With each exercise, Chen offers simple, easy-to-follow instructions, background stories of ancient yoga and modern science as well as fun, witty illustrations.
