Practice Beyond the Posture: Meet Yourself Through the Mental Dialogues of Yoga and Stay in Charge of Who You Are: Mindfulness, Mental Fitness, and Self-Discovery Paperback – June 19, 2025

Break the Cycle of Autopilot Living—One Pose at a Time.

Practice Beyond the Posture is a radically honest, refreshingly grounded guide to the inner world of hot yoga. Rather than fixating on physical flexibility or picture-perfect alignment, this book invites you into the mental dialogues that quietly unfold while holding the most intense poses—and shows you how to reclaim ownership of your mind, your breath, and your life.
Whether you're brand new to yoga or have years of sweat and savasana behind you, this book offers a rare look beneath the surface. Each chapter is built around the 26 postures of the original hot yoga sequence and reveals how your reactions, thoughts, and internal narratives during class mirror your emotional habits and personal philosophy.

✔️ Learn how to stay mentally centered during physically intense poses
✔️ Explore your breath as a tool for emotional balance and nervous system regulation
✔️ Transform distraction, doubt, or frustration into clarity, awareness, and purpose
✔️ Shift from “doing the pose” to inhabiting your body with full presence
✔️ Cultivate attention as your most valuable resource—and learn how to reinvest it

💬 “This is not a technical book. It’s a conversation with your inner self, in the middle of your sweaty, imperfect, wildly human yoga class.”

More than a yoga book, this is a personal growth companion for people navigating overwhelm, emotional loops, overthinking, and the tension of modern life. Through vivid metaphors, subtle humor, and spiritual insight rooted in over a decade of teaching experience, Abdulvahid Coskun delivers a guide for those who want more than flexibility—they want freedom.

You won’t find preachy philosophy or mystical fluff here. You’ll find breath-based focus, deep self-honesty, and actionable ways to meet life with full attention—on and off the mat.
