His yoga focused on control and manipulation.
Until she broke the sequence.
The Secret Practice is the shocking true story of Joelle Tamraz's 18-year ordeal under the control of a master manipulator. For fans of Netflix’s Bikram, Tara Westover’s Educated, and Megan Phelps-Roper’s Unfollow.
'Phenomenal.' —Daniella Mestyanek Young, author of Uncultured
'An intense and suspenseful memoir' —Kirkus Reviews
'Such an important story...a captivating and hopeful story of growth and self-awareness.' —Jean Brown of SEEK Safely and author of This Sweet Life
Joelle Tamraz was barely past twenty when she traveled to India in search of spiritual enlightenment. In Rishikesh, the home of yoga, she met an alluring older man who offered to teach her a secret practice. This encounter would realign her next twenty years. Joelle was controlled emotionally, financially, socially, and physically until she was finally able to break the cycle of abuse.
Despite signs there was more to her Arun than his winning smile, she persisted in seeing him as her spiritual master, soul mate, and key to her destiny. Until one day she dared to open her eyes and change her pose to one of strength and harmony.
From darkness to light, from dependency to self-awareness, from psychological need to genuine love, her memoir is at once an exposé of a malignant narcissistic, the exploration of a marriage, and the exhaustion of a disciple’s faith.
Heartfelt, gripping, and illuminating, The Secret Practice is a powerful story of falling prey to, and awakening from, the dark side of yoga and spirituality.

Historia
“It made me laugh so hard I cried. Not quite pissing-pants funny, but definitely entertaining.” — MWW in Mn, Amazon reviewer “The best book I’ve ever read!” — Soto (which to be fair, doesn’t mean much. Soto is in the book and also hasn’t read very many books.) “Great book!! Only those who joined, regardless of rank, can truly understand how hysterical and factual that book is. I hope you do a second one. That was epic.” — Some guy named Chris (not in the book, and I assume he reads) “Meh, it was okay.” —some dude on Facebook (Can’t win ’em all, I guess.) No...

Historia
Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles—a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

Historia
A memoir by the legendary proprietor of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi, taking us from his gritty London childhood in the fifties to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where he founded the era-defining establishments the Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg, and Nell’s. Eloquent and opinionated, Keith McNally writes about the angst of being a child actor, his lack of insights from traveling overland to Kathmandu at nineteen, the instability of his two marriages and family relationships, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety.

Historia
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.
