As someone who recently started practicing yoga again, this stuck out to me while endlessly scrolling Hoopla.

I really enjoyed the audio narration of this and the way Stanley talks about things like capitalism, racism, fatness, and cultural appropriation as it relates to how yoga functions in America and other parts of the world. Her voice was really refreshing and I kind of loved how blunt and honest she was about things that can be hard to talk about, let alone break down in such a digestible and accessible way.

I also loved how she talked about her own relationship with Yoga and spiritual practices, especially as someone who's constantly trying to ✨figure it out� (not that anyone has it Figured Out, per se). Her journey was an interesting one to read.

The essays in this were a little disjointed at times and there were parts that I felt maybe merited a little more attention than others, things that were introduced and not quite connected or fleshed out, etc. I think there are definitely pieces of this that will stick with me and it was something I’m glad I picked up.
