Orphaned in her early teens and shuttled between abusive foster homes, Tatiana Forero Puerta found herself in her early twenties in New York City, haunted by the memories of her tumultuous youth and suicidal. Following emergency hospitalization, she was advised by her doctor to take up yoga. Over days, weeks, months, and then years, she embraced yoga’s honesty and discipline―delving more deeply into its wisdom, literature, and, vitally, its practice. In so doing, yoga healed her scars, opened her soul to forgiveness, and allowed her to reconcile herself with a past that had threatened to snuff out her life. Yoga for the Wounded Heart is an unsparingly honest memoir of a childhood lost and of courage and resilience gained. It’s also an exploration of the fundamentals of yoga: as a technology that focuses our awareness; as a practical application of mindfulness and attention to what is really going on in our lives and bodies; and as a vehicle for the body to guide the mind and heart toward healing.

Review

Tatiana sees the human condition in a way that blends spirituality and practical insight, and she writes like both a wise teacher and an understanding friend. It takes someone with these integrated diversities gentleness and strength, youth and wisdom, lightheartedness and realism to explore the territory covered here, and she does it masterfully. --Victoria Moran, bestselling author, Main Street Vegan

This book should be prescribed to anyone who is hurting. In an age where yoga has taken on somewhat of a trendy role in society, the pure, unpretentious, and down-to-earth approach that Yoga for the Wounded Heart takes is a beacon of light. --Jennifer Faylor, author, Edison s Ghost Machine

Tatiana is a natural teacher. She has what it takes to make philosophy clear and applicable to both beginners and seasoned yogis. Her work is a beautiful contribution to the yoga community. --Jhon Tamayo, founder, Atmananda Yoga

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018
What an amazing find! I couldn't put the book down from the moment I got my hands on it. This was an amazing story that helps guide you through the yoga sutras. You don't have to be a yoga student to get a lot of guidance from this book. I loved that I got to read a story plus learned how to apply these old yogic texts into practice. If you're looking for a good read plus a spiritual retreat, you've found the right book.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018
This book is an epic masterpiece. It is written so beautifully and brilliantly. You will not be able to put the book down. A journey through utter darkness to becoming a beacon of light. If you enjoy authors like Michael A. Singer, and Gary Zukav, I tell you with absolute sincerity she is easily their equal.
