There is no other book like this in existence, and few words I can add to describe.. but that won’t stop me. I learned of this teacher only last year from one of the world’s premier Taichi gurus...was dying to check out on his advice.
Oh was I lucky..
Remember when you first felt ignited by yoga? That’s the feeling delivered to the reader on these pages. This is one to keep close to the mats or in reverence. Mine sits within immediate reach. Warrior pose, of course.
David is a candle in a world of ash, where yogic systems have become products or beliefs. Candles expend themselves by giving light to others, and this one is poised to light so many others.
Maps and Musings presents the reader with practice, action...inner flame. Illumination. Water for the thirsty.
Aside from that it is stylistically a work of art. I received it as a well thought gift. It is that and then some. Readers will enjoy the incredible synergy presented as you are taken on a journey through insights David had made note of over the years, compiled by a loved one. It is a dedicated work of gratitude and heart, as seen through the eyes of the yogi closest to him. Refreshing like new rain, their words fill the rivers of wisdom and serenity. It is at the same time bold, at times fearsome and fearless. Lyrics fill the ears, shadows entice the curious. Dichotomies play with the mind.
This one will touch and enrich your heart. Promise.
I will summarize by pseudo-quoting an ancient north Indian prince whom abandoned his wife and kid for a long road trip but forgot to bring snacks:
“Those who listen wholeheartedly to this will be able to perceive the hidden nature that all yogis teach. It will become as clear as seeing an ivory flower illuminated by lightning. They will recognize that all beings have this nature.”

A must have for those on the quest for self-knowledge
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019
We’re all searching. For nearly 30 years David Garrigues has been showing us the way. David’s new book. “Maps and Musing: Writing that celebrate hatha yoga and the quest for self-knowledge” is our guide. Packed with knowledge but also has a whimsical celebration that includes poems and art. The book is our guide..a reference...a map. An important addition to any searcher's library.
