Poser: My Life in Twenty-three Yoga Poses by Claire Dederer

5.0

I picked up this book on a lark wanting to get a different perspective on my yoga. practice. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that not only does it cover some of the basics of yoga poses and theory as well as recount the authors fun experiences over a decade of becoming a yogi, but it also interspersed the yogic traditions with what was going on with the author's life and her outlook on life, love, and family at the time. The author recounts various phases of her life, her opinions, and what's going on in her brain over the 10-year period. It was enlightening, funny, heartbreaking, and relatable all at the same time. I'm so glad I picked up this book and was introduced to the author's witty, sardonic, and genuine style. I will definitely be picking up her next novel as well!
