Stardom, thanks to Woody Allen and his film "Manhattan," came at an
early age...but so did the problems of a broken and dysfunctional
family. Yet in a life so out of kilter, Mariel Hemingway summoned
the strength and inner resolve that enabled her to find -- and to
keep -- her balance.
In "Finding My Balance," actress Mariel Hemingway uses the
lessons and practices of yoga as a starting point for her own
personal reflections and larger-than-life family story. The result
is a searingly honest memoir that is as deeply moving as it is
helpfully prescriptive.
Mariel turned to yoga and its meditative practice in an effort
to maintain her center when her life threatened to spin out of
control. Having experienced family tragedy, sudden stardom, and the
continuing challenges of a full and demanding life, Mariel learned
through practice how to find her balance in emotionally
disorienting situations. Throughout the book, Mariel uses her yoga
training as a starting point for each chapter, carefully describing
a
particular position, then letting her mind wander into thoughts
of the past and of her tumultuous life.
As each chapter begins with instruction, so does the book end
with exercises organized in a sequence that can be followed by
anyone who wants to practice them. As a special bonus for this
edition, Mariel has added a section that describes the basics of
her own "In Balance Philosophy," calming words of advice for people
in search of their own emotional center.
