About the Author
Riddled with chronic lower back pain and digestive disorders since childhood, Deborah Charnes spent fifty years exploring the world, uncovering secrets to health and happiness. For two decades, she managed hundreds of news conferences, editorial board meetings, press briefings, and one-on-one interviews. She worked with security, communications and advance teams for John McCain, Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, Bernie Sanders, megastar Jennifer Lopez, and the Vice President of El Salvador. To balance the chaotic scales directing major league campaigns, it was essential for her to soothe the stress and 24/7 schedule with body, mind and spirit lifesavers. In 2011, Deborah left the high-pressure demands as an international corporate marketing communications strategist. Moving forward, she dedicated that same energy to positive transformation-of herself and others. She vowed to never stop learning-or sharing. Deborah has published more than five hundred mind/body and lifestyle articles, and in 2021, she joined AARP's The Ethel as a contributing writer. Already a certified yoga teacher, she added training in Ayurvedic massage therapy, nutrition and cooking. She received certification in yin, restorative and yoga nidra therapies, acupressure and reiki, and became one of the first bilingual (English/Spanish) certified yoga therapists in Texas. Coaching people of all ages all over the world and with many physical or emotional challenges, she seeks to boost the mind, body and spirit through simple techniques that can be practiced anywhere and anytime. To that end, she has created many signature therapeutic workshops and offers Wisdom Weekend retreats. You can view her current offerings on her website at deborahcharnes.com.When not writing, traveling or working with her yoga students and therapy clients, Deborah enjoys hosting guests at her mini retreat center, The Namaste Getaway, in Texas Hill Country.

I love the way Deborah Charnes brings ancient spiritual wisdom to help anyone who is facing a modern-day issue. Her soothing words help you reconnect and trust your inner knowing, which is a relief to all those seeking peace in this chaotic world.

The wisdom in From the Boxing Ring to the Ashram nourishes the mental, physical and spiritual crevices of our human experience. Thank you for this heartwarming piece of work!

Deborah Charnes shares a cornucopia of wisdom, carefully harvested through her keen observations of remarkable life experiences. As the life sciences advance, our appreciation and gratitude grow in recognition of the depth of knowledge of the ancients. The keys to the health of mind, body and spirit are graciously revealed within the pages of this valuable gift.

-Dr. Joseph Weiss, Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCSD


From the Boxing Ring to the Ashram is a transformative self-help book that takes readers on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Based on twelve life lessons from twelve teachers with twelve unconventional life paths dotted with challenges along the way, this book is a great addition to our yoga literature. I highly recommend it for yoga students, yoga teachers, yoga therapists, healthcare providers and scholars who are interested in the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of yoga and yoga therapy. You'll find yourself coming back to the text time and again for deeper study and practice.

-Dr. Dilip Sarkar, FACS, DLitt (Yoga), former Associate Professor of Surgery and past president of the International Association of Yoga Therapists


With an upbeat, pithy style and entertaining turns of phrases, Deborah Charnes unearths sagacious advice nestled in true-life encounters with people who have penetrated the ordinary and transcended challenges to bring peace and wisdom into their lives. Their stories and the author's insights show us how we can discover our own wisdom to make life more vibrant and meaningful. Every chapter includes easy, practical tips for holistic mind/body wellness.
