The Yogi Code

March 13, 2017
Cameron, a former fashion model and Ayurvedic therapist, introduces readers to daily yogic practice distilled into seven laws: routine, practice, self-study, intention, purpose, service, and love. Cameron’s fundamental teaching is that the mind must let go of its need to control and instead surrender to the guidance of intuition or the higher self. By encouraging active observation of the seven laws—such as contemplating the reasons for one’s daily routine—he helps readers to find their own answers to the questions “What do I really want?” and “Who and why am I?” The key is not merely to achieve or gain success in life, he says, but to sustain it. He depicts asana and meditation practice not as standalone practices for finding greater peace and connectivity to life but as steps toward a more holistic practice that infuses one’s every action and decision with integrity, kindness, and compassion. Cameron steers away from more technical terminology; readers seeking more general spiritual advice for life will appreciate these lucid teachings from a compassionate teacher.
