I AM A YOGI by Lucille Wood  

I AM A YOGI by Lucille Wood

Complied by Lucille Wood, the album draws on the vast archives of more than 60 years of Gita in Melbourne and beyongd. Through recollections, stories , media clippings, letters, pictures and a dvd  -the reader 9 or perhaps, rather the student?) is able to glimpse an insight into the character and charisma of Margrit Segesman, along with a deeper understanding of the founding history and development of Gita Yoga in Australia.

To review the book you’d be hard pressed to categorise it. At the heart is the story of Margrit, but you could also say it shows the history and development of yoga in Australia, or the story of a solo woman setting up business in the 50s in conservative Melbourne (and a foreign woman at that…and one who teaches yoghurt!?!)  You could even say it documents the changing landscape of Melbourne society and culture (Frankie Lightfoot modelling postures in fishnets anyone?…).

I AM A YOGI is the book to read if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have a cup of tea and a conversation with Margrit Segesman. It is truly food for the soul and will set spirits soaring and hearts singing.
