I listened to the Audible audiobook, and the narrators were quite good, well suited for the material. This helped immensely, because talking about things as potentially "crunchy granola" as yoga and meditation can often veer into the deep and unforgiving waters of Flaky Lake. Thankfully, such moments are avoided, not only to the credit of the narrators, but to the essayists as well, all of whom are also professional writers in some regard. This is most fortunate, as they find the poetry of the practice not in the Sanskrit names of the poses, but in the power yoga has for facing - and dealing with - the pain of aging, relationships, disabilities, illness, abuse, brokenness, and our own personal demons. This is a book for people who wonder what yoga can do for them, and those who already know and want to hear from kindred spirits.
After a foreword by Cheryl Strayed ("Wild"), readers are treated to humor and heartfelt intimacies form the likes of Neal Pollack, Katherine Riegel, Claire Dederer, and Dinty Moore ("The Accidental Buddhist"), as well as over a dozen others.
This is the perfect book for those who see yoga as more than merely a form of exercise, but instead as a path, a tool, or even a way of life.… (more)
