LOVE IT.

An excellent read with beautiful, simple illustrations. Words connect seamlessly to the poses and that place within. Perfect for sharing with yoga class.
awesome resource for yoga teachers! perfect little bits to read during class.
Du yoème pour mon cœur-chrysanthème.
Exploratory musings of the psyche while in a yoga posture. The author describes some asanas in poetic form. The author leaves blank pages at the end for the reader to jot down their own musings while in asana. She describes all of her poems in English but the asanas are entitled in Sanskrit. The only reason this small book received 4 stars is because I was hungry to read more of her musings. Highly recommend this to writer's, yogis, and yoga teachers.

TW for mentions of SA and Miscarriage.
I enjoyed the read but had to note on page 88 there is mention of sexual assault and on pages 104-105 there is mention of a miscarriage. Want to make sure everyone who reads this is prepared if they’re sensitive to those topics. <3
I forgot to mention that the font is a little small so if you have trouble reading you may want to consider reading this digitally or try to find a larger print of this.

At the same time as I got this book I purchased 2 other daily readings/poems books. Unfortunately this one did not work for me at all and the others did.

I'm a California girl living in Tokyo, where I write and run a yoga studio. For over two decades, I've been charting my quest in twenty books in many genres. I hope I'm just getting started.
I’m interested in ideas of identity and history. How is culture shaped, and how are we shaped by it? All of my books deal with notions of finding home.

“Before I had a name I existed in the world as breath as the wind as a star. For a moment if I could be the breath & the wind & the nameless star I’d meet the sky that holds them as it holds me, & I’d say joyfully, namaste.”
