*****
"The Yogi Leader is engaging, and the message is accessible in the forms of narratives which help the to-be-successful-leader to relate and get insights into the aspects of their own personality and belief system that prevent them from being an effective leader. The references to Yoga postures, breathing and relaxation teaching, plus self-affirmation and positive thinking techniques, are opening people to the empowering aspect of Yoga as a holistic body-mind-spirit practice. The book is a contribution to our confused, scattered time when often times people find themselves with no voice and no vision."
Swami Sitaramananda
