Unbreakable Wholeness

— By steadfastly following his heart, Todd has lived an uncommon life: living like a monk for 13 years at the then-ashram Kripalu in Massachusetts; having an intense spiritual awakening that landed him for a brief stay in a psychiatric hospital; and overcoming the heartbreak of being spiritually betrayed by beloved teachers -- not once, but twice. Now, writing with gentle, compassionate authority, he shares the life-changing philosophy that taught him how to embrace all of it -- the pain, disillusionment, and suffering -- as the gift it was always meant to be. Relatable, funny, candid, Todd's work is for the ones who are looking for a heart-centered path to life fulfillment. It will inspire you to access your own heart, leading you from the unknown to the known, from darkness to light, and from fear to love as you walk your own path of hope, happiness, and true transformation. Valeria Teles interviews Todd Norian — the authors of "Tantra Yoga: Journey to Unbreakable Wholeness, A Memoir."   Todd Norian, E-RYT 500, internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and founder, seeks to awaken others to their inherent potential for healing and joy by integrating the body, mind, and heart through yoga and meditation.
