About Us

Author ~ Deborah Adele

Deborah's bio image. Deborah Adele holds two master's degrees, several yoga certifications (ERYT500), as well as training in Gestalt skills and Strategic Intelligence Skills. She and her business partner Ann Maxwell own Yoga North Studio in Duluth, Minnesota, a thriving center that teaches Eastern philosophy, yogic life skills, and yoga postures for balance of body and mind. Deborah worked for three years as a consultant with a firm out of Boulder, CO, where she combined the concept of body and breath with organizational development skills to improve leadership and management in various businesses around the country. She also wrote as a regular wellness columnist for the Duluth News Tribune (see the resources page to read her published articles) and is the author of two CDs, The Art of Relaxation and The Practice of Meditation.

Deborah and Ann also own Adele & Associates, a consulting company whose goal is to increase the clarity and productivity of client systems through health and wellness. In whatever venue Deborah finds herself, she consistently uses her knowledge and training to support others in living a life integrated with balance, clarity, and well-being.

Deborah currently resides in Duluth, Minnesota with her husband Doug, a Lutheran minister, where their conversations around spirituality remain lively. She and her husband also enjoy hiking and biking in the beauty of this northern region. They have two sons and four teenage grandchildren, who keep them laughing and invigorated. Deborah loves to play her grand piano, especially Rachmaninoff, and is an avid reader.

Deborah is drawn deeply to the depth of Yoga philosophy and feels her life has been dramatically enlivened from these concepts. It is her greatest joy to share these teachings with others.

Publisher ~ On-Word Bound Books

On-Word Bound Books LLC is a small, independent publishing company committed to producing quality products for niche markets. On-Word Bound Books works closely with their authors in order to produce the highest quality book possible.

Co-owners, Sara Duke and David Devere started On-Word Bound Books in 2003. They have produced one book per year since they started their company. All of their previous books have been in the quilting genre. This is their first yoga book and they are very pleased with the result. They feel the content and design are both top quality and the price can't be beat. Reaction to the book has been quick and positive. Already other teachers are taking this book out into their community and using it as a teaching aid to introduce these important concepts.

Producing one book per year doesn't keep Sara and Dave completely busy so they both continue to work outside of their business on personal interests.

Sara teaches yoga in various studios and businesses around Duluth and has a passion for Restorative Yoga - see her website, Do Restorative Yoga, and blog for more information.

David enjoys history, especially anything relating to WWII. Recently he worked for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast creating an on-line campaign game with scenarios of various WWII battles and he runs his own gaming blog: Northland Tactical Society. Currently he is studying the foreign currency exchage market and finding the advice on trading is remarkably similar to the Yamas & Niyamas:
