I want to direct people to Suza Francina's engaging, honest story about a dating saga many women can relate to. With class and seriousness, but humor too, Suza exposes the experiences of dating at mid life and older, and the mistakes a woman makes when presented with charm that appears and disappears. One aim is to help women hold men accountable.

(1972--1974) My first teacher, Sarah Kirton, who asked me to teach her class at The Gables of Ojai. This photograph was taken in Upper Ojai, at a place called "High Winds," near the land that later became the Ojai Foundation.
A comprehensive guide for older students and their teachers. One in five Americans is now moving toward the age bracket of "sixty and beyond." This milestone is the perfect time to begin or renew a yoga practice.
Yoga is a gift for older people. One who studies yoga in the later years gains not only health and happiness, but also a freshness of mind since yoga gives one a bright outlook on life. One can look forward to a satisfying, more healthful future rather than looking back into the past. With yoga, a new life begins, even if started later. Yoga is a rebirth which teaches one to face the rest of one's life happily, peacefully, and courageously. -- Geeta S. Iyengar, YOGA, A Gem For Women
It's surprising that there is so little out there that explores the benefits that Yoga can have for women at this time in their lives. Francina's book is not only sorely needed, it's long overdue.
