From Alignment to Enlightenment:
Using Props to Achieve Stability and Ease in Yoga Poses
From Alignment to Enlightenment: Using Props to Achieve Stability and Ease in Yoga Poses by Tricia Fiske and Marianne Woods Cirone, is available on Amazon.
This visual guide includes 120 photographs of yoga poses showing common misalignments and demonstrations of alignment using props to bring stability and ease to the poses. In addition, the book describes the effect of each pose on the chakras, prana vayus, as well as on the energetic qualities of langhana and brahmana. This book is a culmination of all the yogic wisdom that I bring to my yoga classes and trainings from the past 30 years.
Reviews for From Alignment to Enlightenment
"Newcomers, experienced students of yoga and teachers of yoga are in capable hands with my dear friend, Tricia Fiske as their guide. In her book, From Alignment to Enlightenment, Tricia shares her wisdom and many insights on the vital concept of alignment in practice and the energetics of asana.
With the use of props to support the understanding of proper, safe form within the postures as the foundation, Tricia has created a clear, smart and important manual that will be of immense value to anyone looking to build a foundation or deepen their practice of yoga."

"Tricia Fiske was one of my first yoga teachers and inspired me to become a yoga teacher. Over the last 12 years, Tricia has been the leading faculty member of our teacher training programs; we have certified over 600 yoga teachers in the Midwest. Many have gone on to open yoga studios and become leaders in their own communities. Tricia's dedication to both the tantric yoga tradition and alignment-based yoga provides students with a multifaceted approach for practicing and teaching yoga.
Marianne Cirone has trained our advanced yoga teachers on how to adapt yoga for cancer survivors. Her depth of knowledge in this area is unparalleled. In this richly detailed book, Tricia and Marianne share their mastery of how to utilize props and alignment to guide you into deeper layers of being and make the practice accessible to all."

"I have seen and purchased many books as resources to develop my individual yoga practice and to support students in my role as a teacher. This e-book is a one of a kind book. This book has intelligence and brilliance - it's a yoga gem. It should be on every yoga teacher's device. This book focuses on common misalignment that we see in our students and clearly demonstrates how to use props to support the student in their practice. I will personally make this a go-to resource while teaching students, in my personal practice, and in teacher training."

"Tricia and Marianne have put together an invaluable compendium for guiding teachers and students into lifelong learning. Props make alignment better and provide unique ways to enlighten one's understanding of yoga postures. Included is a background on yoga philosophy to set the context for assisted healing practices and self help choices. Beautiful photos illustrate how props make poses accessible, safe, and effective."
