How to Fall in Love with Yoga 

by Sarvesh Shashi 

About the Book

Restorative and holistic, How to Fall in Love with Yoga is a stroll through the world of yoga, where Sarvesh Shashi encourages readers to experience the different facets of the practice. Through four key goals and accompanying poses and flows, the author deep dives into the basics of the practice. It is contemplative and inclusive, peppered with personal notes and experiences. How to Fall in Love with Yoga is as much about the body as it is about the spirit, and as much about fitness as it is about mindfulness.

Not bound by age, school, or style, the book will reach into the heart of yoga, cutting through all the noise, to share with the reader that which is true to the authentic and original form of the practice. The book will contain a youthful flavour as it walks the yogi – for there is a yogi within all of us – through different postures while providing context, additional information, and useful tips. The poses are easy-to-do at home and aim to build a love for yoga. It is why each section ends with meditation to help the practitioner relax and focus at the end of their goal.

THE CITY OF DEVI

By : MANIL SURI

About the Book :

A dystopia like no other, Manil Sun i paints a vibrant portrait of an India on the brink of collapse, two figures travelling across the unknown in a world scarily close to the modern day. 

Armed only with a pomegranate, Santa ventures into the empty streets of Mumbai, on the eve of its threatened nuclear annihilation. She is looking for her physicist husband Karun, who has been missing for over a fortnight. She is soon joined on her quest by Jaz cocky, handsome, Muslim, gay, and in search of his own lover. 

Together they traverse the surreal landscape of a dystopia rife with absurdity, and are inexorably drawn to the patron goddess Devi ma, the supposed saviour of the city. Groundbreaking and multilayered, The City of Devi is a fearlessly provocative tale of three individuals balancing on the sharp edge of fate.
