I stumbled upon this book when looking for the book “Yolk.” (Which makes it funny that their first story is about yolk/yoke). I’m so incredibly glad I read it. I’m currently in my ytt 200 and struggling with so many things mentioned, especially the imposter syndrome. I will definitely be purchasing and rereading this book. I’m also excited to read other books by this author. Such an authentic, no bs take to yoga. I also really appreciate the conversations on cultural appropriation within American yoga.

I knew going in that I was going to vibe with a lot of this author's story. I appreciate the unapologetic candor throughout. I would recommend it to anyone that practices yoga and doesn't mind someone not holding their punches with where you might disagree with them.

It’s amazing how much of an incredible writer Jessamyn is. What a demonstration of reflexivity and with stories and advice that give me so much to think about.
