Yoga One Stories and Practice is a photo booklet celebrating twenty years of helping people enjoy healthier, happier lives.

Section One includes flashbacks, stories, and photos from Yoga One founders Amy and Michael Caldwell chronicling their personal journey including how they nurtured a family-owned business and a thriving yoga community. In the book, the Yoga One co-founders recount how they quit their jobs in the music business to backpack around the world for three and a half years exploring different cultures and philosophies. While picking apples in Australia to earn extra travel money, they discovered the joys and benefits of yoga. As they traveled, the Caldwells got more serious about their yoga practice, eventually studying in India with some of the country’s top yoga masters for sometimes as much as four hours per day. Upon moving to San Diego, Amy initially led donation-based classes in Balboa Park before moving inside to launch Yoga One in 2002.

Section Two imparts an overview of practical yoga philosophy, with 5 accessible and useful alignment steps, and an introduction to the 8-limbs. Yoga One head instructor Amy Caldwell and long-time studio manager Missy DiDonato share some of their favorite yoga practice tips, alongside how to begin a home practice. Sequences include gentle yoga and flow-style, with sun salutation variations.
