Books by Kim Roberts
Contemplative practice feeds creative process.
As a dedicated yoga and meditation practitioner for the past 30+ years, I’ve explored in depth the relationship between contemplative practice and creative process. I’m currently working on my third book. Learn more below…
The Art of Embracing Change
This book will be released in 2026.
In the meantime, I’m trying something different - I will release this book in segments on my Substack publication, Art of Awakening. Along with each new installment, readers will get access to guided meditations, creative practices and other tools for managing the anxiety of transformation within the container of a nurturing, supportive environment.

Toward a Secret Sky
From obstacles to spiritual awakenings: a pilgrimage through the Himalayas and beyond.
A pilgrimage is always at the least two things–a literal journey and a spiritual journey. Though it involves a geographical moving about, it also requires a psychological shift of the deepest sort.
Creative Process as Pilgrimage
Making art was a natural extension of the spiritual path I’ve navigated for the past 30+ years. Settling the mind enough to learn to see is a prerequisite for an authentic creative practice.
Creativity arises naturally when you stop striving to achieve something.
What readers say:
In a world full of promises for spiritual growth, how does one recognize an authentic path or teacher? Where does one even begin? Roberts responds to this very question by providing a compassionate “roadmap”, full of personal anecdotes, traditional wisdom, and practical advice necessary for navigating the terrain of one’s own spiritual adventure! A kind and accessible book that supports the human longing for a meaningful life.
~ Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel
Toward A Secret Sky is a guide for anyone who wants to develop a connection to their inner life. In it you’ll find practical tips and guidance for embarking on your own journey of personal exploration, as well as stories from the field.
Ashtanga Yoga for Beginner’s Mind
Ashtanga Yoga for Beginner's Mind is a complete guide to the Ashtanga primary series — written for everyone from total beginners to experienced practitioners who want to deepen their practice from the inside out.
Most yoga books teach you to perfect the postures. This one teaches you to use them as a doorway into meditation.
Drawing on decades of teaching and practice — including authorization from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to teach Ashtanga after studying in Mysore, South India — author Kim Roberts offers a rare combination: detailed instruction on the postures of the Ashtanga primary series, alongside practical guidance on shamatha (sitting meditation) and how each practice enriches the other.
