I had the opportunity to review an eARC of this book thanks to #NetGalley. I am certainly not the target audience for this book as a white, middle aged, hetero, reader. Never the less, she had a message of self-acceptance I valued. I needed to hear her complaints about the white American yoga community to work on my own blind spots. Her explanations of mind-body integration and the broad meaning of prana were fantastic.
Her language is quite coarse and gratuitously peppered with f-bombs which would influence who I would recommend the book to and her descriptions of marijuana use as part of a yoga and meditative practice were not my cup of tea.
At times she shifted topics quickly and unexpectedly making some parts of the book harder to connect to broader ideas. I do not regret reading this book, but I would be hesitant to recommend it to other people in my life for the reasons listed above.
