"Daren Black’s Finding Real Yoga is a moving, intimate spiritual memoir that straddles the line between personal transformation and universal wisdom. Structured across five thematic sections—from the spark of first contact with his guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, to a culminating pilgrimage to India—this book traces one man's journey from hardship and despair to profound healing, enlightenment, and purpose."
LITERARY GLOBAL BOOK AWARDS
"The book’s blend of poetry, memory, and teaching sometimes meanders. But then again, maybe that’s the point. This isn’t a how-to manual or a textbook. It’s more like sitting down with a friend who’s been through something wild and beautiful and wants to tell you everything. The teachings of Gurudev Sri Sri are interwoven with personal experience in a way that feels authentic and non-dogmatic. There’s no hard sell, just an invitation to look deeper, breathe fuller, and live with more presence."
LITERARY TITAN REVIEW
"Finding Real Yoga isn’t just a book about yoga, it’s a book about finding your footing when everything feels shaky. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s curious about yoga beyond the mat, especially those who feel like they’re stumbling their way through spiritual life. If you’ve ever sat in silence and hoped for something more, or wrestled with doubts and still felt a pull toward meaning, this book might feel like a quiet friend on your path."
LITERARY TITAN REVIEW
In the 1970s, Daren leaped into yoga and meditation like a bold rubber band. His practice was seasoned by sharp spices of bicycle and car accidents. Gurudev Sri Sri rescued Daren from a deadly gauntlet of tragedies, heartbreak, homelessness, and severe illnesses. Daren is a robust exponent of the fullness of yoga.
