This is an interesting book, but like Write Away has more to it (in this case the yoga) than I want to think about, so not quite for me. I did enjoy the frequent quotes of writers about different aspects of writing.
Wonderful addition to any yogi/writer's shelves. The practices here are simple, clear, and very helpful. I have had the chance to work with Jeff Davis on the phone, on -line, and in person. He's the real deal.
Perhaps the best book on writing I've read in a long time. Although I wouldn't recommend it with the same freedom as I do others, this is perhaps one of my hands down favorites. For a full review:

jeff davis writes what he teaches.
and! he teaches what he practices.
this is good news for anyone interested in the energetic prompt that yoga can
provide their writing. i met jeff, and got to experience first hand the surprising tie.

Love the practical teachings in this book about using Yoga as one's Muse for creativity. This is the foundation of a YAM (Yoga as Muse) facilitator's training I'm participating in this summer! (See also www.trackingwonder.com)

Jeff is a friend of mine. He is an amazing teacher of yoga and writing. The practices I learned from this book have helped me immeasurably as a writer.
