Description
Yoga has been a source of comfort and strength for Nadia Gilani, but she's also seen how it can be exclusive to certain groups. In her 25-year practice, she's noticed the industry's growing popularity, yet its modern form often shuts out those who originally pioneered yoga. Gilani combines her personal experiences with an account of yoga's history and transformation in the West. She writes a love letter to the practice while also critiquing the billion-dollar industry that has made it inaccessible to many. This book is a poignant and humorous exploration of where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save yoga from its own success. By examining the intersection of yoga's history, its modern incarnation, and Nadia Gilani's personal journey, she sheds light on the need for greater inclusivity in the practice.
