Spiritual Exercises

"For just as strolling, walking, and running are bodily exercises, so spiritual exercises are methods of preparing the soul," wrote St. Ignatius in his Spiritual Exercises. In her homage to this classic of the spiritual life, Nancy Roth teaches us to integrate our physical well-being with spiritual practice through a wealth of different disciplines from Pilates and Tai Chi to strength training, and aerobics. Book jacket.

Nancy Roth is an Episcopal priest, retreat leader, dancer, musician. She serves on the faculty of the CREDO Institute for clergy wellness, and as Chaplain to the Spouses, House of Bishops
