I Hate Yoga : And Why You'll Hate to Love It Too

“It’s pretty humbling to have a yoga guru call out our most common mistakes. Expect lots of laughs throughout this easy read.” —Chatelaine, “Six Yoga Books to Brighten Your Day”   In a cathartic journey from yoga-hate to yoga-love, I Hate Yoga explores why yoga has become so controversial in Western society, all the while growing in popularity. Social media, religion, a bad boy guru, yoga competitions and other unlikely bedmates are humorously and conscientiously exposed in this thoughtful look at the world of yoga today. You’ll find yourself shocked, tickled, and perhaps even transformed as author Paul McQuillan takes you through a maze of dissent and praise—ultimately enabling you to arrive at your own surprising and unlikely conclusion. You’ll want to put this book down, but only to go to yoga and begin your own love/hate relationship.   “It’s refreshing to read a book that not only unabashedly explores the problems with yoga today, but also offers up some clear solutions to those issues. The end result is that we all benefit—yogis and non-yogis alike—from a message of laugh-out-loud wisdom.” —Measha Brueggergosman, international opera star/avid yogi   “Even if you think you have no interest in yoga, you’re going to love this book, because it’s about the life journey that we’re all on! With wit and honesty and a refreshing lack of pretention, Paul McQuillan doesn’t just tell it like it is, he tells it like it could be. Take a deep breath, open to page 1, read. It could change your life. No kidding.” —Toronto Star
