Dear friends,
In the higher civilizations, the rishis established a path that led to the heavens. Along the path were four stations. Inside the stations were remedies that helped people lead more fulfilling lives.
There was the Student Stage, encompassing birth to age 24; the Householder Stage, for those 24 to 48; and the Forest Dwellers, for those 48 to 72. From age 72 to 120 came the last stage, the Sannyasi.
These four stages were designed to bring one greater health, longevity, inner peace, happiness, and ultimately:
enlightenment, the highest purpose of life.
In
The Four Stages of Yoga: How to Lead a Fulfilling Life, our latest release, a Western yogini brings the Four Ashrams to life for modern day readers.
The Four Stages of Yoga is engaging, powerful, deeply inspiring, and has the potential to profoundly transform your life.

WHAT OTHER AUTHORS ARE SAYING . . . “In a most engaging way, Nischala Cryer explains the traditional stages of a yoga practitioner’s life by weaving into that paradigm the story of her own spiritual journey. She shares this journey, and deftly draws in the reader, by sharing fascinating stories and observations of her private interactions with some of today’s spiritual leaders. She excites us with her tale, while simultaneously reminding us that, in truth, the highest journey is always to be found in our own heart.
“Highly recommended for both students and teachers of yoga. You will be entertained and educated with a soft and lyrical touch. Inspiring!”
—Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., founding member of Yoga Journal, author of nine books including
Restore and Rebalance: Yoga for Deep Relaxation. “One of the first books that explains in detail what it means to live the four stages of yoga. This book is inspirational, scientific, and useful. An inspiring guide for life.”
—Dr. Amit Goswami, quantum physicist, author of
The Self-Aware Universe “I just finished reading
The Four Stages of Yoga. It took me only two days, because I could not put it down. For the past four years I have been reading at least one book a week, and I have to say that very few of those works have provided me with the feeling of transcendent oneness that yours did. I was moved to tears many times as my heart swelled with love for the great souls mentioned in these pages. I believe this refreshing book will move many readers to consider the path of yoga in their own lives. Congratulations on such a wonderfully enlightening account."
—Henry Huta, The Ancient Wisdom of Yoga Holistic Wellness Center, Florida, USA, doctoral candidate in Performance Psychology with a concentration in Yoga and Meditation.
“Spiritual practitioners of all paths will find
The Four Stages of Yoga’s framework practical, useful, and illuminating.”

The Life of Yogananda Click here to buy now. “This is the first book, written by a Westerner, on the four 'ashrams' or stages of life. Others have written on this subject, but no one has captured it in such a profound yet personal way that touches one’s heart to the core. This book is a must-read for all those interested in yoga and Hinduism, and for those who want to perfect their lives by diving into the vast spiritual heritage found in Sanatana Dharma.”
—Vanamali Devi, author of
The Song of God and
The Play of Rama “Ancient knowledge from the higher civilizations, when applied to everyday life, is reflected throughout this educational and entertaining book. An inspiring new contribution to the field of yoga, ideal for all ages!”
—Walter Cruttenden, Founder of The Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge (CPAK), author of
The Lost Star of Myth and Time “You buy this book to figure out what to do with your kids. You keep reading, because suddenly it is about yourself. Then you want to give it to your parents, or your grandparents, but you can’t, because soon you will become them and will need it yourself to guide your progress into, and through, the inevitable stages of life. This is a classic subject, but usually people write about it intellectually. I don’t think it has ever been done in this how-to-live way. Entirely practical, with life-changing implications.”
—Asha Nayaswami, yogi in the fourth stage of life, author of
Swami Kriyananda: As We Have Known Him “This book offers important insights to help anyone consciously use the natural rhythms of a lifetime for their own and others’ spiritual benefit. You will find insights, practical suggestions, wise counsel, large-hearted humor, and accessible inspiration no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. Read it slowly and savor.”
—Joseph Selbie, author of
The Physics of God “Through imaginative stories, true-life interviews, personal experiences, and ancient yogic wisdom, Nischala Cryer offers a vision of the purpose behind each stage of life. This book is a guide to living with fulfillment and enlightenment.”
—Nayaswami Devi Novak, co-Spiritual Director of Ananda Sangha Worldwide, co-author of
Touch of Joy: A Yogi’s Guide to Lasting Happiness “This book is moving, entertaining, and full of wise insights for those engaged with yoga, nature, and the journey of life!”
—Joseph Bharat Cornell, Founder of Sharing Nature Worldwide, author
of Deep Nature Play and
AUM: The Melody of Love Click here to buy now. “In the tradition of all great storytellers, Nischala Cryer weaves thought-provoking tales, beautifully illustrating the intricacies, blessings, and challenges experienced in the four stages of life. Deeply inspiring.”
—Jamey and Darlene Potter, New Renaissance Bookshop, Portland, Oregon
“This very readable narrative provides a firsthand account of life within a uniquely American spiritual community, seen through the developmental stages: learning, family, deep inquiry, and wisdom.”
—Christopher Key Chapple, Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology, Director/Master of Arts in Yoga Studies, Loyola Marymount University
“Understanding the ancient wisdom of The Four Stages of Yoga is an essential asset to those treading the path of yoga. Thank you, Nischala, for your heartfelt clarity, which, when enhanced through stories, encourages us to celebrate each stage. Through the telling we are inspired to adapt the yogic practices to each stage, embracing spiritual enlightenment.”
—Nischala Joy Devi, teacher, author of
The Healing Path of Yoga and
The Secret Power of Yoga “I love this book! The author’s many life experiences and interviews with other yoga practitioners make for fascinating reading, marrying the most high-minded spiritual principles with a grounded life as a mother, wife, teacher, yogi, and nature-lover. Read this book! You will be inspired by her loyalty to her teachers as well as her expansiveness to truth-seekers of all traditions.”
—Susan Usha Dermond, education consultant, former school principal, author of
Calm and Compassionate Children “Everyone loves a good story and
The Four Stages of Yoga delightfully flows from one fascinating story to another. Nischala Cryer’s fresh and fluid writing style brings each story to life, while she artfully weaves a gentle spiritual message into the narratives—a message rich in beauty and power because of the personal experience behind it. As an educator, I especially appreciated her insights into the first two stages of life. But no matter what stage of life you’re in, whether you’re new to yoga or a longtime devotee, you’ll find inspiration here.”
