I hadn't heard of Yoga Girl but during the holiday season last year, I was in a quick rush of inspiration and popped this book into my cart at Target. I was expecting a little more considering it's status on the New York Times bestseller list and the high ratings here on goodreads. Rachel wonderfully shares her story of how yoga has transformed her and how she's become best known for her instagram moniker. However, I don't think it's a very in-depth, or even basic, informative book necessarily about yoga and/or meditation. The book, in all, with it's collection of photos from her social media, has a wonderful layout and splits between her life story so far, some recipes, and various yoga posers. Like the retreats she leads where Rachel admits playing the lessons by ear, I didn't feel everything in the book connected - the poses, especially - to the inner thoughts and stories she was telling. Overall, the book is lovely but I believe I have a few other yoga-based self-love books collecting dust and will get a little bit more fulfillment for my buck. :)

Love this book! Stories, insights, self-care, self-acceptance, and the journey from darkness to light. A soothing and invigorating read.

I read it by the beach and it was a perfect fit. Very inspiring, honest and cheerful. Just like her Instagram. I really enjoyed it. I am also eager to try some of the recipes

Een prachtig boek, wat mij heel veel heeft doen nadenken over mijzelf en de wereld om ons heen. Rachels persoonlijke verhaal is heel inspirerend en eerlijk. De yogaposes zijn goed omschreven en ik vind het tof dat ze aandacht besteedt aan meditatie. Het boek is heel persoonlijk, maar bevat zeker goede levenslessen voor iedereen. Zeker een aanrader!

A nice, easy read. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but Rachel delivers lots of inspiration as usual. I read this book cover to cover on a two and a half hour flight.
