  It is quite serendipitous how yoga brought two fellow English majors together to create an easy-to-follow adaptive guide towards wellness. Our book is intended to introduce yoga as a means of curing many of the common ailments adults of all ages face. Achieving optimal physical fitness through yoga is what we are teaching, and overall wellness is what we are preaching. This book is strongly recommended for adults who are tired of feeling tired and sick of feeling sick. Yoga teaches you how to use your own body to heal your own body. Learning to breathe, move, and meditate allows you to maximize every single cell in your body. All the sequences and movements are described in detail and adapted for people who are blind and/or sighted. We’ve also included an adaptive chair yoga session for adults who may find the use of a chair beneficial.

I know you'll love this book as much as I did. It will give you more enjoyment, confidence, and hope on your journey around the links, and for your journey to eternity." 
  --Scott Simpson, US Open Champion 1987

  Strong Boy - The Life and Times...

  "I can lick any son-of-a-bitch in the world." 
  So boasted John L. Sullivan, the first modern heavyweight boxing champion of the world, a man who was the gold standard of American sports for more than a decade and the first athlete to earn more than a million dollars. He had a big ego, a big mouth, and even bigger appetites. His womanizing, drunken escapades, and chronic police-blotter presence were godsends to a burgeoning newspaper industry. The larger-than-life boxer embodied the American dream for late nineteenth-century immigrants as he rose from Boston's Irish working class to become the most recognizable man in the nation. In the process, the "Boston Strong Boy" transformed boxing from outlawed bare-knuckle fighting into the gloved spectacle we know today. 
  Strong Boy tells the story of America's first sports superstar, a self-made man who personified the power and excesses of the Gilded Age. Everywhere John L. Sullivan went, his fists backed up his bravado. Sullivan's epic brawls, such as his seventy-five-round bout against Jake Kilrain, and his cross-country barnstorming tour in which he literally challenged all of America to a fight are recounted in vivid detail, as are his battles outside the ring with a troubled marriage, wild weight and fitness fluctuations, and raging alcoholism. Strong Boy gives readers ringside seats to the colorful tale of one of the country's first Irish American heroes and the birth of the American sports media and the country's celebrity obsession with athletes.
