A Siberian-born yoga teacher, Slava Kolpakov, shares his yogic journey and insights from the yoga practice in his new book, Threads of Light: A Yoga Tapestry, an inspirational read for anyone looking for deeper meaning in their lives. The book draws a clear picture of yoga as a lifestyle practice and philosophy and is an ideal companion for new yoga practitioners and experienced yoga instructors looking for inspirational themes with which to infuse their yoga practice.

Kolpakov has always been fascinated with the transformational power of stories. His belief is that our values and actions are shaped by the stories we have been told, and continue to retell. Kolpakov teaches yogic philosophy in his weekly yoga classes and teacher training courses at Sangha Movement Studio, in Watertown.
