Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance

I did a shit ton of Yoga with Adriene last month and was inspired to pick this up - realizing now that this should be an essential read for anyone regularly practicing (or teaching) yoga. Jessamyn writes about more than just the poses and breathwork but about race and capitalism as well, among so much else in the yoga world, which I really appreciated in this. She’s also funny so this was a nice experience all around.

"On breathing: "Really, every moment in life is a yoga posture. Standing up tall when someone's trying to shrink you is a yoga posture. Protecting your loved ones is a yoga posture. Finding the breath in these moments inspires you to action and confirms your faith. Sometimes finding your breath can be the difference between seeing someone else's point of view and punching them in the face.""
