Yoga Revolutionized
Everyday we continue to learn more about the growing number of factors increasing our daily stress and anxiety. In a 2017 Gallup poll, eight out of ten Americans felt overwhelmed by stress each day. These issues come from a variety of hurdles that stand between us and physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. One practice that continues to come up in journals, books, and news sites to reduce stress and increase our well-being is yoga. Physicians all over the world are recommending yoga as means for healing our bodies and increasing our health. Not only is yoga a tool for decreasing stress and anxiety, it can be a powerful practice for coping with severe trauma and depression, as found in studies reported by Psychology Today and Newsweek.
Knowing this, it is no surprise that it is estimated over 36 million people are practicing yoga in the United States.

World Peace Yoga is a textbook for yoga teachers, studios, and for those just getting started with a yoga practice.
World Peace Yoga is a companion book to Dr. Will Tuttle’s inspiring and moving book The World Peace Diet, a #1 Bestseller on Amazon.com that has been translated into 16 languages.
This book is intended to foster self-reflection and conversations to assist readers to answer: What is your best version of your self? What is a gift you bring into this world?
World Peace Yoga takes readers on a visceral and visual journey through art that inspires the soul. Incorporating unique and vibrant artwork was central to the construction of the book. Why is art important? Art cleanses us. Art rejuvenates. As Pablo Picasso said, “Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Beyond the aesthetics, the content of this book transports readers through the philosophy, poses, and holistic nature of yoga, allowing audiences to dive as deep as they’d like. The book goes beyond photography and uses colorful graphics to render complex philosophies into simple and easy to follow visual directions.
Throughout the chapters, readers take in a series of original collages created by Julie Kirkpatrick. Julie, a Jivamukti Yoga teacher, began her art career many years ago. While many of her pieces through the book may appear bright and whimsical at the onset, a deeper look often reveals a set of conflicting and complicated narratives about the everyday struggles we face as human beings.
Complementing the vibrant collages, readers are moved by the incredible graphic design and photography across the pages, thanks to the gifted Amanda Checco and the astonishing photography of Jesse Fox. Readers may find themselves opening the book randomly simply to experience the art, imagery, and graphics—which bring poses and concepts to life like never before.
“The medium of storytelling has always been a favorite for me – so I learned a lot about just the magnitude of elements that need to come together to create a very well rounded educational book that explores the World Peace Yoga philosophy in depth. My favorite part was developing and creating the educational graphics, info-graphics and button icons that appear throughout the book. We worked on a lot of pointers and tips to sort of move the readers through the content and encourage them along the way. I love education and figuring out how people learn is interesting to me, so its really sparked a passion for educational graphics that I will continue to pursue.”
