Product Description
From the Publisher
Eyes of Innocence follows closely upon the publication of Dona Holleman's very well received yoga book "Dancing the Body of Light" In Eyes of Innocence Dona shares the experiences which she has integrated from a lifetime of yogic discipline. In her own words this senior teacher speaks of such topics as nature, intellectual systems and transformation of mind and body.
This book explores our way of perceiving the world through our own cultural and personal history and how we can change this perception to a more encompassing and compassionate way.
From the Author
"We never look with eyes of innocence, we always look through our hopes, fears, thoughts and experiences. These form a wall in front of our eyes; a troubling like the ripples on a lake that distort our reflection of reality. Seldom do we look into the eyes of our fellow men and women and when we do, we find ourselves stopped by this wall. On a rare occasion we may meet someone and look into the eyes and to our surprise do not find ourselves stopped, but rather invited to enter into endless rolling fields and routes, vistas of innocent beauty."

Richard Rosen, Sept/Dec. YREC/IAYT Newsletter,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eyes of Innocence: Interviews from Documentary Video, "A Fish in Search of Water" (Paperback)
"Eyes of Innocence is a collection of ten remarkable interviews with Yoga teacher Dona Holleman, author of Dancing the Body of Light. Holleman, a practitioner for over 40 years, explores a wide range of interests in these exchanges: the meaning of and need for a system as a way of seeing the world; modern physics and religion; the human body and consciousness; her experiences with significant teachers in her life, such as J. Krishamurti, B.K.S. Iyengar and Vanda Scaravelli; and of course the practice and teaching of Yoga. These are some of the most interesting and informative interviews I have ever read, and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Portions of these interviews were filmed and made into an accompanying 24-minute video, A Fish in Search of Water. This production will give you a tiny taste of Holleman's vision, but if you want to sit down to the entire feast, then you should aquire the book." I felt that this review which was written by Richard Rosen who is a Yoga Journal Contributing Editor and Deputy Director of the Yoga Research and Education Center (YREC) in Santa Rosa, Ca.would be very helpful to anyone who was interested in the content of this book. Additionally, Mr. Rosen teaches yoga in Berkeley and Oakland and has published books on the subject himself.

All gifts are Equal,

This review is from: Eyes of Innocence: Interviews from Documentary Video, "A Fish in Search of Water" (Paperback)
Having taken up yoga late in life I was very curious to read the experiences of a woman who has practiced a life time of yogic discipline and what she could share with the rest of us for whom yoga is a sometime practice. Among Dona's talents, and I think of any great teacher, is the ability to state universal knowledge in the simplest of terms. For example through the use of an anecdote about the Virgin and a juggler Dona seems to be telling us that whatever our gifts are in life they are sufficient to form that link between us and complete being and that in the end all gifts are equal by the very fact that they are gifts freely given through love. This is just one wonderful discovery that Dona shares with the reader.
