A book challenge from my friend on Facebook has been thought provoking for me all week. There are several books which have been seminal for me in terms of learning and teaching yoga and meditation.

One work of art I’ve come across that I have previously included in my mindfulness course is ‘Quiet the Mind’ by Matthew Johnstone. Matthew is an author and illustrator who draws on his lived experience of depression and meditation. His work with his wife, Ainsley Johnstone is as honest and moving as it is educational and invaluable.
