For many years at the Jivamukti Yoga School in New York City and throughout the world, popular and highly regarded yoga instructor, Ruth Lauer-Manenti, (affectionately known as Lady Ruth) has been offering her students dharma talks.- stories from her life that accompany her classes and represent the yogic commitments to ahimsa (non-violence), compassion and service. Some of these talks have now been collected in a book, many of them accompanied by a reading from classic Hindu texts, such as The Bhagavad Gita, The Hatha Yoga Pradipika and The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Composed with humour and sensitivity, AN OFFERING OF LEAVES is the perfect gift for the aspiring yoga practioner and any spiritual seeker wanting to live with thoughtfulness and integrity. "Ruth sees not only beauty and wonder in the world around her, but receives profound guidance from observing everyday activities like an old woman getting her hands dirty changing a flat tire or ants carrying carrots. This is because to Ruth all of life pulsates with the wisdom teachings of the guru—the enlightenment principle that surrounds and permeates through all of us at all times."—Sharon Gannon, co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga School
