Embrace Yoga's Roots: Courageous Ways to Deepen Your Yoga Practice

Susanna Barkataki

Susanna’s own book gets yogis a little closer to her well-known institute, which is shifting the paradigm of what yoga looks like in the West, with a commitment to diversity and cultural reclamation. Her gift is storytelling from the roots of yoga and bringing complex philosophical topics down to earth, practical and implementable for students of all experiences.
