Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear, Get on the Mat, Love Your Body by Jessamyn Stanley

This is a wonderful book with great humor as renowned yoga teacher, Jessamyn Stanley shares her journey and gives excellent pointers on yoga asana. This book has great photos and easy-to-follow directions for 50 basic yoga poses and 10 sequences to practice at home.

It’s also a book that challenges the larger issues of body acceptance and the meaning of beauty. Most of all, it’s a book that changes the paradigm, showing us that yoga isn’t about how one looks, but how one feels, with yoga sequences like “I Want to Energize My Spirit,” “I Need to Release Fear,” “I Want to Love Myself.”
