Downward Dog, Upward Fog by Meryl Davids Landau Pdf

Lorna Crawford has a great boyfriend, longtime friends, and a well-paying job as special- events coordinator at a premium ice-cream manufacturer. But, out of sorts and filled with self-doubt, the 33 year old soon realizes that what she really wants is to stay on the spiritual path she keeps diving off of. Lorna jump-starts her efforts at a silent yoga retreat. But after returning from the mountain, she quickly loses her connection in the face of scheming coworkers, judgmental girlfriends, and, especially, her overly critical mother. Lorna also wrestles over her future with her boyfriend, a hot guy who takes her to the hottest places, but who can t discern a meditation cushion from a toad stool. Reading spiritual books and visiting a channeler and energy healer move Lorna forward, but her confusion remains. Lorna 's seeking is put to the ultimate test when personal tragedy strikes. Will she come to truly understand that living spiritually has little to do with how you pretzel yourself on the yoga mat (although she gets plenty good at that), and everything to do with embracing the twists in everyday life? How delicious to find a novel for women who find spirituality every bit as enticing as fashion. The characters in Meryl Davids Landau 's page-turner aren t the only ones uplifted here the reader gets a dose of inspiration along with a mesmerizing story. --Victoria Moran, author of Creating a Charmed Life

When George and Bella—a homeless alcoholic and his intimidating German shepherd—disturb the peace outside her studio, yoga instructor Kate Davidson’s Zen-like calm is stretched to the breaking point. Kate tries to get rid of them before Bella scares the yoga pants off her students. Instead, the three form an unlikely friendship. One night Kate finds George’s body behind her studio.

So Kate starts digging into George’s past while also looking for someone to adopt Bella before she’s sent to the big dog park in the sky.

Downward Dog by Edward Vilga Pdf

“What Karl Lagerfeld is to fashion, Edward Vilga is to yoga. He has poured his years of experience into this sexy, charming and well-written escapade” (Simon Doonan, author of Soccer Style). A study in love, loss, and sexual misadventures in New York City, Downward Dog tells the tale of a handsome Bad Boy who becomes a yoga instructor while trying to redeem his womanizing ways and win the forgiveness of the only woman he’s ever really loved. Down on his luck thanks to a failed nightlife venture which fell apart because of his womanizing, our hero’s stuck with massive debt and broken dreams. His only safe haven is the yoga world, and when his well-connected best buddy launches his yoga career among NYC’s elite, our working class hero becomes a guru to society’s top 1%, a wolf let loose amongst a flock of comely sheep. “Downward Dog is not only a sexy/funny page turner, it also shares the emotional journey of one Bad Boy’s transformation and romantic redemption.” —Chip Conley, New York Times–bestselling author of Peak

The Hitwoman’s Downward Dog by JB Lynn Pdf

So many men….so little help. Maladroit hitwoman Maggie Lee has never been one to ask for help. But now she’s found out that her niece, Katie, will soon be discharged from the hospital - making Maggie her guardian not just in name - and her semi-psychic friend Armani Vasquez has been kidnapped. Suddenly Maggie could really use some help. While her crazy, but lovable, aunts are ready to help out with Katie, none of the men in her life are willing (or able) to lend a hand to save Armani. With both cops and bad guys telling her not to go after Armani alone, she knows the smart thing to do would be to listen to them. But Maggie’s not the type to abandon those she loves. Even with Patrick, Maggie's murder-mentor and almost-lover, and her old friend Zeke out of the picture, Maggie’s not desperate enough to bring herself to involve crime reporter Jack Stern in her quest. Armed with only Armani’s cryptic clues, and assisted by her snarky lizard, her dumb, but extremely loyal dog, and a one-eyed cat, Maggie decides to take on whoever's taken Armani. Will the lack of human help prove to be her undoing? Or will a special guy come through for her in the end?

Downward Dog in Miami by Larry Allman Pdf

DOWNWARD DOG IN MIAMI introduces DEREK RANDALL, highly sought-after cyber-security expert. When criminal hackers break into your computer and steal your money, who do you call: the police? The FBI? Good luck getting their attention. If you can get a referral, you call Derek Randall, and he resolves your case, he recovers your money, and the criminals get a big dose of painful justice. Derek deals with the criminal cyber trash during the day, and to protect his health and wellness, he teaches yoga at night. Derek is in Miami handling an extremely dangerous case against an international crime syndicate who believe America is weak and vulnerable, filled with easy targets. These particular criminals bring a new level to vicious and brutal. But this time is different, because they've never faced anybody with Derek's digital and kinetic skills, or the uniquely talented associates on Derek's team. The suspense, the action and the exploding final confrontation: it builds and builds, chapter by pounding chapter. As Derek says: "NAMASTE... criminal cyber-hackers!"
