Age Like a Yogi: A Heavenly Path to a Dazzling Third ACT - Paperback

by Victoria Moran (Author), Sharon Gannon (Foreword by)

A Spirituality & Practice "Best Spiritual Book of 2025"

Yoga and ayurveda as keys for aging beautifully

While advanced age is revered by some, very few of us are in a hurry to get there. This guide treats physical well-being and spiritual growth as two sides of a coin. It is custom-crafted for midlife and later by addressing both eternal verities and physical health. Yoga, the time-honored philosophy of which headstands and downward-facing dogs are only a fragment, doesn't sugarcoat: physical life will end and material joys, as lovely as they can be, are temporary. In acknowledging our true nature, the eternal divinity that is our essence, we have the best shot at well-being on every level.

This book explores spiritual awakening yoga-style, and the fundamentals of yoga's sister science, ayurveda, for care of the body. No one is too young to take up these practices, and no one is too old either. Asana practice, the "physical exercise" component of the spiritual adventure of yoga, is fully adaptable to anybody of any age. And the mental and spiritual practices of yoga need no adaptations.

Age Like a Yogi not only gives the reader immediately applicable tools for spiritual awareness and physical health in the post-fifty decades, but also a way to leave this world kinder, safer, saner, and a little more beautiful.
