Amy Landry's The Ocean of Yoga Explores Tradition, Technique and Teaching

Amy Landry’s new book, The Ocean of Yoga: A Complete Guide to Living the Teachings, Tradition, and Practice, will be available March 31, 2026 from Shambhala Publications, and early preorders include a free Companion Guide announced on Amy’s Instagram post dated March 5, 2026. Penguin Random House’s product page lists preorder options and the specific availability date, while Amy’s social post reads in part, "Elated to announce the free Companion Guide to my forthcoming book, The Ocean of Yoga. This brand-new preorder".

Publicity for the book began before the release window: New Books Network ran a feature on Mar 2, 2026 hosted by Raj Balkaran, a contributor who also provides the foreword for the book. The New Books Network page lists the episode under Archive / Religion & Faith / Indian Religions and displays a Buy Book call to action alongside site UI strings such as Share / Copy Link / Email / Facebook / Twitter.

Landry frames the project as a decade-spanning labor of practice and teaching: "Amy has been steeped in studentship and sharing yoga for over two decades," and she says she aims "to amalgamate several Indian disciplines into daily life with the hope of inspiring her community to have a tangible relationship with living yoga—rather than seeing it as an isolated practice." Her promotional copy positions the book for "the international yoga community of both practitioners and teachers who yearn for greater clarity, integration, and direction on their personal path toward higher attainments," and it closes with the sign-off "Pranamami."

Content summaries on the New Books Network feature and publisher listings present the book as a sweeping, practice-forward guide: "A Complete Guide to Living the Teachings, Tradition, and Practice" and "definitive guidebook to the core principles and practice of yoga—from its traditional roots to the latest contemporary developments." The description lists core topics verbatim, including "A captivating overview of the history and evolution of yoga" and "Key facets of subtle yogic anatomy, including prana, koshas, nadis, kundalini, chakras, vayu, and a map of the mind."

Practical techniques and traditional frameworks are foregrounded in the book’s outline, with New Books Network copy noting "A practical framework inward that expands beyond the [...] mind" as well as a duplicate line, "A practical framework inward that expands beyond the popularized eight-limbed approach." The feature further promises "Teachings on the tangible techniques, such as traditional joint movements, purification practices, mudra, meditation, mantra, and approaching yoga through an Ayurvedic lens," and coverage of "Diverse paths, including Bhakti, Karma, Jnana, Raja, Hatha, Laya, and Tantra."

Landry also places emphasis on lineage, stewardship, and classical sources: the book offers "Guidance on living (and teaching) yoga through stewardship and lineage, while using the four aims and stages of life as anchors" and treats "Foundational yoga texts, featuring the revered Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, alongside some lesser-known treasures," with attention to "The sanctity of Sanskrit, sound, and so much more."

Endorsements accompany the launch material; Dr Manasa Rao, founder of Yogayush, provides a full blurb: "Amy Landry’s The Ocean of Yoga is a luminous guide that takes us beyond the asana into yoga’s deeper truth, where philosophy, subtle anatomy, and practice meet in radiant unity. With insight and compassion, Landry honors the sacred lineage while opening up the living wisdom of yoga. Written with clarity, devotion, and depth, this book serves as both a companion for seekers and a resource for teachers. It is a tapestry of knowledge and spirit that reflects the very soul of yoga."

Technical details for teachers and bookstore buyers are explicit: ISBN 9781645474692, 216 pages, dimensions 6 x 9, Foreword by Dr. Raj Balkaran, and published by Shambhala, with the Penguin Random House product page noting "Available on Mar 31, 2026 | 216 Pages" and "Preorder from:" merchandising elements. A YouTube listing tied to the publicity shows a Bookshop affiliate link in its snippet and other publisher pages feature related-products merchandising and sign-up prompts for author news.

The Ocean of Yoga positions itself as a lineage-aware, practice-oriented manual meant for both seekers and teachers; with New Books Network attention in early March and a formal availability date of March 31, 2026, Landry’s book is presented as a resource aimed at bringing traditional techniques and frameworks into daily, teachable practice.
