Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance

I enjoyed her predecessor book, Every Body Yoga. It was fresh and authentic, making the case that yoga can benefit anyone regardless of size, age, gender, race or whatever trait you use to categorise the human race.
This second effort felt too much like a series of rambling blog posts cobbled together to take advantage of Stanley's current popularity. She is indeed a unique voice in our society with a physical appearance and social media presence 180 degrees from your stereotypical yoga teacher. And she unabashedly challenges your thinking on racism and cultural appropriation. However...I just couldn't get past the feeling that this book was commercially motivated to her detriment.
