A book recommendation from Amanda Duckstein, founder of Shadowbox Pilates:
Lighter by Yung Pueblo offers grounded, practical wisdom on how to build better habits and heal from within.
What sets this book apart is how clearly it unpacks emotional complexity. Pueblo makes ideas like self-awareness and compassion feel not only accessible but deeply relevant â especially for those doing the quiet work of growth.
His take on compassion is especially refreshing. Itâs not about being endlessly kind to everyone at all times. Itâs about showing up as best you canâeven on days when kindness feels out of reach.
That kind of realism resonates with us at Shadowbox. We believe in progress, not perfection. This book captures that spirit: steady, forgiving, and genuinely transformational.
You can purchase it through Amazon or find it available at the studio alongside our other carefully selected wellness essentials.
