Incredible. Amazing. OMG. I now have a new obsession. Yup. I am now officially a member of the LADY GAGA club. You will be TOO after you see A STAR IS BORN. Okay--I'm a little obsessed with BRADLEY COOPER and SAM ELLIOTT TOO--but I HAD completely dismissed Stephi (yes, we are now on a first name basis) until yesterday. Her performance and singing brought ME TO TEARS!! She literally blew me away. Without the make-up--costumes--fan fare--SHE was a completely different experience--AUTHENTIC--RAW--HEARTBREAKING. As for Cooper-- Believe it or not-- He can REALLY sing too. He actually took voice lessons for 18 months in preparation for the movie. Cooper played a gifted musician haunted by his past. His performance was HONEST--TRAGIC--UNFORGETTABLE--much like your FAVORITE character in a book--one whose name you'll never forget. This movie was seriously--like a fine wine or a favorite book that demands a reread. Now that I'm obsessed with Stephi--I learned that she's really into yoga--so in her honor--I'm going to review a book I've been reading lately called Living Your Yoga by Judith Lasater. Lasater, whose been teaching yoga since 1971, has a doctorate in psychology. She also has a degree in physical therapy and is President of the California Yoga Teachers Association. In addition, she's written several books and articles on the benefits of yoga. I'd say she's a serious yogi. In Living Your Yoga, Lasater does not teach poses or breathing techniques, she teaches embracing the whole. The book is divided into three parts where you asked to examine yourself, your relationships, and finally your relationship with the world. The chapters are short and easy to read. I really liked the suggestions she offered after each chapter to carry the lessons into every day life. Essentially, Lasater wants the reader to combine mind, body and spirit in a new way in order to practice mindfulness. She wants the reader to let go of self-judgment, fear, control, and find the courage to live a more ethical/authentic life. Lasater's book is wonderful because she reflects on her own personal journey with yoga and the things she has learned about love, life, family during her journey toward mindfulness. This is a 190 page book for anyone interested in working on self-improvement. The advice is sound and applicable even if yoga isn't your thing. Namaste.
