Yoga is an intimate, alchemical process in which you discover your own physical, sensual and emotional landscape. Yoga is how you sing yourself back to life. It's in the moments that you witness the sublime wisdom of the body. It's when you find the ocean in your breath, the stillness in your mind and experience yourself as the force of life.
In Secret Yoga Club , Gabrielle Hales introduces the yoga practices and rituals that she has found therapeutic, life-affirming and liberating over a decade of teaching yoga and co-creating unique, multi-dimensional experiences with a community of healers, artists and musicians.
As Gabrielle has discovered, when you meet yourself on the mat, you have an opportunity to heal the trauma hidden within your body, release the tension in your overworked mind, experience emotion as energy, expand into pleasure and intimacy, and when needed - rest and restore.

Deeply personal and incredibly honest. Written from a place of love and willingness to help women to become happier, braver and more aware of their mind and body, the book is a beautiful account of a very personal journey. I appreciate the courage, openness and vulnerability that this writing required. The photographs accompanying the book are dreamy, sunny and simply gorgeous. It’s a deeply calming and nourishing read. Highly recommended!

A beautiful book that works for people new to yoga as well as those more experienced. Has some poses/sequences but lots about history and theory of yoga too.

This book is a really great introduction to yoga. Through reading it I learned about other books that I should probably read. And learned about the basic concepts.
I've started to deepen my practice, which as someone who has been doing exercise class white lady yoga for 15 years without any depth, says a lot about this book.
