Description

Innovative, accessible, and easily implemented, One Degree Revolution is acclaimed yoga educator and leadership coach Coby Kozlowski's holistic program for self-inquiry and personal transformation. Her philosophy is deeply connected to living yoga—not just doing yoga. In fact, readers don’t need to have ever attended a yoga class to dive into this book: her thoughtful teachings are for anybody interested in learning to navigate the waves of life more skillfully and gracefully.

Imagine sailing a boat with a course set for a lifetime. If that route changes by just one navigational degree, what would happen to the journey? How far from the original trajectory would we be in one year? Five years? Ten years? Twenty years? Well, we would end up in a totally different place. In much the same way, we can change the course of our life by making a one degree shift. In other words, we don’t have to change everything about ourselves or our world to make a difference.

Coby inspires readers to dig deep, to ask powerful questions and to dive into the insights, experiments, and inquiries of living yoga: how can I best be with life? How can the teachings of yoga direct us to see the most aligned choices, let go of past hurts, and discover deep and meaningful connections? And what are the most skillful ways we can learn to savor all that life presents? These yoga philosophies are infused with practical strategies for creating the life you truly want and having a positive impact on the world.

One Degree Revolution will guide readers to:
-access infinite personal possibilities
-celebrate their authentic selves and start listening to their calling
-find meaning and purpose
-learn to let go and trust the unfolding of life
-value taking a pause and making a fresh start when needed
-challenge long-held beliefs and foster transformational change
-get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and
-develop their community

One degree at a time.

I liked this.

One Degree Revolution is a basic primer into the small, tiny changes we can make in our lives and mindsets that ultimately can turn into big shifts. This way of thinking is also the root of yoga practice, and the author equates the two and gives the reader an interesting proposition to "live yoga" instead of "do yoga." I found this very basic, but I liked that it was accessible to anyone who might pick it up. And especially in our "instant gratification culture," a book about making small, consistent changes and changing our mindset to be rewarded by those shifts can be groundbreaking. Great ideas in here.

This excellent self-help book offers the philosophy of yoga for personal transformation and growth. If you are into yoga, you'll want to go beyond the poses and physical practice of yoga and explore the deeper wisdom offered in this book. If you're not into yoga, rest assured that you won't need any knowledge of the physical practice of yoga at all to benefit from this book.

The author offers lots of wise counsel in this book, accompanied by pertinent questions to explore your authentic self and put past demons to rest. This book would be great for anyone finding themselves in any sort of transitory season of life and wanting to move forward. The book is well-written and keeps your interest to the last page. Highly recommended.

“You are not your past/you are not your wounds/You are the co-creator of your reality”

I started reading this book the way I usually read most books—quickly. This is really something you should go through thoughtfully, flagging the parts that speak to you.

This uses yoga philosophy as a way to change small things in your life, little by little potentially leading to big change. You don’t need to practice yoga to understand what she talks about. I used to practice yoga a lot more than I do now, but most of the terms she talks about in here that she clearly defines I’d never heard of, so don’t trouble yourself with that aspect of this.

As with most books about living a better life, some parts really spoke to me, while others I shook my head and thought, “That is so never going to happen.” In case you’re wondering, I’m absolutely never going to hang out in the woods without a cell phone and create “forest art” with twigs and pinecones and leaves.

There were so many great quotes and ideas in here. I really recommend buying this so you can highlight ideas that inspire you and try to implement a few things into your own life.

It’s a bummer that this comes out a couple weeks after Christmas because this seems like a book both my mother and sister would enjoy. In any case, thanks so much to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book, which RELEASES JANUARY 7, 2020.
