Emotional Yoga: How the Body Can Heal the Mind

An experiential approach to emotional healing through the science of yoga

Published in 2002 by Simon & Schuster and translated into 11 languages, Bija has created a groundbreaking yoga program that takes full advantage of the mind-body connection.

Based on the classical eightfold path of yoga, Emotional Yoga offers a broad range of simple mind-body techniques that can positively affect our emotional well-being—including the dynamic interplay of movements, breathing exercises, meditations, lifestyle skills, rituals, gestures and healing sounds. Each practice is presented in a way that is true to Bija’s background in the tradition of Viniyoga, making the profound teachings of this ancient tradition available to the modern reader.


I have seen how transformative Bija’s yoga teachings can be. I have watched her work with individuals in clinical settings as well as with groups at my workshops around the country. She has a profound gift for making the spirit of yoga accessible.

— Deepak Chopra, M.D.
