The Poetry of Yoga has been hailed as a “ground-breaking volume . . . . A book to cherish and revisit again and again―at home or in class” (Jane Sill, editor, Yoga & Health Magazine) and “destined to become a favorite gift book for our community” (Waylon Lewis, editor-in-chief, Elephant Journal). The perfect book for teachers to use as part of yoga classes and students and lovers of philosophy to ponder while sipping tea or in bed.
