My guest is award-winning author, independent health journalist, certified yoga teacher, and returning fan favorite, novelist Meryl Davids Landau. Meryl is the author of what she calls mindful women\u2019s novels, including Downward Dog, Upward Fog, the award-winning Warrior Won, and now her third novel, Yoga Bind. This new book brings us back into a circle of spiritually seeking women, but this time, the ground underneath them shifts. Janelle, the central character, is moving along her spiritual path when a serious accusation against her revered yoga guru forces her to ask a painful question: If the teacher is tainted, are the teachings tainted too? That\u2019s a powerful question. And it\u2019s not only about yoga. It\u2019s about trust. It\u2019s about community. It\u2019s about how we hold complexity when someone we admire disappoints us, or worse. And for many of us, especially as we get older, it\u2019s also about how we keep growing without becoming cynical.
