Yoga Bodies: Real People, Real Stories & the Power of Transformation

Description

Yoga Bodies features more than 100 photographic portraits with profound, humorous, and heartfelt stories from yoga practitioners (known and unknown) of all ages, skill levels, body types, and backgrounds. Each portrait presents the yogi demonstrating a yoga pose, with an accompanying personal story of his or her experience of yoga. Story themes range from anecdotes (such as how the yogi first came to discover yoga) to the physical, emotional, or philosophical impacts yoga has had on their life. Together, the portrait and story represent each yogi's personal expression of their yoga practice; collectively, the entries celebrate the joyful 'Yoga for everyone!' message that's driving yoga's rampant popularity.

Lauren Lipton is an award-winning journalist who covers style, beauty, wellness, and trends for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Allure, Self, Town & Country, and Conde Nast Traveler, among other publications. She is based in New York, NY.

Unpretentious and delightful, this generously sized hardcover is a collection of first-person portraits of more than 80 people who practice and enjoy yoga. It's not a book only for yogis-it's a book for people. - RealSimple.com
