LOS ANGELES, May 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cougar Yoga, Forty Lifetimes of Healing in Forty Days, a new self-help autobiography by Lori Tierney, published by Red Road Publishing, Inc. is being featured at BookExpo America 2013 (BEA), May 30, 2013 at the Javits Center, 655 West 34th Street, New York. Based on the spiritual experiences of a seeking woman, whose inspirational inner journey has opened personal and spiritual doors to levels of consciousness she never imagined, Lori's illumination leads to insight for readers, both feminine and masculine. Controversial in its nature, Cougar Yoga has both been acclaimed and criticized for its honesty in portraying the difficulty and the rewards of yoga and meditation on the path to enlightenment.

Lori says, " My life, thus far, has had its joys and its tragedies, not unlike countless others before me, those experiencing existence now, and in the future. My personal journey is unique only in the way I have chosen to understand and practice it. Perfection in all things is elusive, but learning to accept, with love, is what I now know leads to happiness."

Nestled deep inside of the mammoth Pentagon building lies an athletic center where treadmills, bikes, a basketball court and other traditional gym hardware await employees. Now, a new trend is catching on inside these walls: Yoga.

Lieutenant Colonel Melinda Morgan has been teaching yoga at the pentagon for the last year. But her belief in yoga's healing power dates back to 1997.

"I was diagnosed with an immune deficiency that was going to possibly lead to arthritis and that arthritis could eventually lead me to being in a wheelchair, I had two young children, that wasn't an option," she said to CBS News.

Yoga has been a part of Morgan's life ever since. Now, she is on a mission to use yoga to help others. After 9/11, Morgan taught yoga to special-forces teams in Germany and ever since, she takes the yoga mat wherever she travels.

"In 2009 and 10 I was deployed to Afghanistan for 13 months and the yoga mat was really the thing that kind of kept me together through some very stressful times," she said.

Melinda has learned to use certain words to empower her students who are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

She notes that The Veterans Yoga Project, a non-profit organization with a mission to provide education and support for the mindful use of yoga to aid in recovering from post-traumatic stress and other psychological difficulties, has a program that was integral in helping her understand how to teach yoga to veterans. It is called "Mindful Yoga Therapy for Veterans Coping with Trauma." Morgan is acutely aware of the fact that teaching yoga to veterans is very different than teaching yoga to non-veterans.

Air Force Captain Duilia Mora, another yoga teacher at the Pentagon, also recognizes the importance of catering yoga classes to her veteran students.

For example, word choice can be very important when leading the students through the class. Morgan and Mora both note that they do not use phrases like "bind your hands" or "surrender" in their classes. Instead, they use words that give the student a sense of ownership and security.

"'You're the boss,' I use that one sometimes," Morgan told CBS News.

In case you havent been drooling over the tiny Yoga 11S Ultrabook since CES, Lenovo just released a teaser that gives a sense of the convertible devices ability to morph into different shapes, depending on your needs.

The spot features dancers from THE SILHOUETTES dance company, dressed in all black against a white background, creating shapes like a tree, a car, street lamps with their bodies and with each other. You actually dont get to see an image of the Yoga 11S at all. In fact, the closest you get is seeing the Yoga in silhouette when the four dancers look like theyre sitting on a plane and are using the device in its four different modes (tablet, tent, laptop, and display mode).

Since the Yoga 11S is basically just a tinier version of the IdeaPad Yoga 13 and Windows RT-running Yoga 11 that were introduced last October, Lenovo probably feels it doesnt need to hit you over the head with what its line of IdeaPad Yoga Ultrabooks are all about. With an 11.6-inch touch display that comes in 1366 x 768 or 1600 x 900 pixel resolution, the Yoga 11S is one of the few mini-Ultrabooks that runs full Windows 8 (the 12-inchAsus VivoBook X202E being the other). The $800 base model uses the i3 chip, 4GB RAM, 128 GB SSD and 1366 x 768 screen.Youll also be able to customize the Yoga 11S third-generation Intel processor (choice of Core i3 to i7), as well as increase the RAM to 8GB and upgrade the solid-state drive to 256GB. The Yoga 11S is available in Clementine Orange, silver, and black.

As we reported earlier this month, you can already pre-order the Yoga 11S from Lenovo and Best Buy, but it wont be shipping for at least four weeks, according to Lenovos estimate. If you prefer to try the Ultrabook in person before buying, youll want to wait until June 23 to find a Yoga 11S at a Best Buy near you.
