Loved this. So informative and inspiring. Loved the authors narration. Super relaxing and easygoing. But also challenging! 
Check the trigger warnings, also there was a instance where she mentioned a scooter accident (labeled as car accident in the content warnings since that was closest) but it was brief.

I have not read Jessamyn's other book but I have followed her on Instagram ever since I heard about her from the Unladylike podcast. I loved this book so much, as it was unique as yoga books go. Jessamyn was honest and funny, writing in a way that I felt like I was talking to a friend. She dove into personal topics and hard topics which I really appreciated. I will definitely be checking out her other book soon and I can't wait to see what other content she releases! 

A big thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book!
