Iyengar, and a world-respected yoga teacher and writer. I will argue that the way Iyengar successfully institutionalized his charisma into the British adult education system was a direct contributing factor to his system’s worldwide popularization. The book features instructions, illustrations, and descriptions of yoga poses and breathing exercises (pranayama) and also featured 600 yoga photos of Iyengar practicing yoga. Both cases provide examples of how personal charisma in teaching yoga were incorporated into a highly bureaucratic, state-funded adult education system in 1960s England. This chapter explores the mechanisms of how the guru-śiṣya charismatic relationship was institutionalized by examining as case studies B.K.S.

I also enjoyed the extra POV's that allowed us moments with our past favorite couples, and gave us a chance to see Stella and Mace from the outside. Their story was profound, beautiful, HOT, and more rich than the past books. I think those reviewers read a different book than I did, because compared to the rest of the series I felt like Stella let Mace in faster than a number of the previous ladies. I read in other reviews that people thought Stella pulled Mace along for too long, and that Mace was "abusive". Mace was broken but he treated Stella with care after they got through their initial crap. Stella's character was beautiful, strong, and loving. Their trauma is what binds them and strengthens them and their love. Ashley wrote some of her best work here- the characters are deep, complex, and passionate. Sure, this installment of the Rock Chick series was darker and less goofy than the rest. I am SO glad I ignored the negative reviews for this book. |
