In her new book, Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living, renowned yogi meditation teacher Rebecca Pacheco offers insights and practices for how to live a more present, contemplative life. As we do, we create space for peace and calm, but also for our own mental, emotional, and spiritual grappling.   Guest Bio Rebecca Pacheco is the author of Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living, to be published by HarperWave on August 3rd, and Do Your Om Thing, named one of the “top ten yoga and meditation books every yogi needs” by Yoga Journal and used in teacher training programs across the United States.
