Combining personal insight and anecdotes with practical, down-to-earth teachings, he brings you into a world in which every part of your life has sacred and transformative potential.

Our urban lifestyles could greatly benefit from a bit of mysticism. To live in a magical mystical world one only has to uncover the potential in their own daily lives. Darren Main gives us a how-to book on yoga, which offers us ways to transform the mundane into the mystical.

As yogis we pursue transformation, but mostly get change. Darren Main and his book, Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic motivates us with simple humor, honesty and personal experience to stay the course, keep the faith and turn change into transformation.
