pickI was not expecting to like this so much. I loved Allegra and her co-workers (Tripp was my favorite!).
I especially loved that Allegra kept a positive attitude throughout the book no matter what was being thrown at her.
I recommend this book for someone who is looking for an easy read that is also sprinkled with some wise life lessons.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As I try to finish book 1 of #WhartonBuddyRead find myself thinking Edith was up to speed about Perry Baker who renamed himself Dr. Pierre Bernard bringing yoga to America. Lots of scandal & running from the law , criticism from clergy,etc. And was it sex cult? I‘m not sure, still on my TBR .
A timely message from my book of daily yoga wisdom as we enter the season of holiday frenzy.
pickI enjoyed this little book. I found a lot to highlight and can see myself reading it many more times as I continue on my yoga journey. I started practicing as a pandemic hobby in 2020 and have continued to practice damn near every day since. There's an entry to read for each day of the year, but I read it at my own pace. This would make a great gift for any practicing yogi or anyone interested in yoga 🧘🏿♀️
pick11-23-23: My 96th finished book of 2023! I wanted to like this one more than I did. It was fine for the most part but I found the women to be a bit whiny. 4 college acquaintances meet at a reunion and decide to start a yoga class together. One is the yoga instructor, one is a editor at a publishing house, one is a web designer and one is a journalist. They forge friendships that will last while dealing with the perils of being a woman in NYC.
pickPerfectly Imperfect addresses the mental/mindful side of yoga over the physical side. In my short, 2 years of yoga practice, I went in fully expecting to work on and get satisfaction from the physical side of yoga. What I didn't expect is to fully embrace the mindful side and want to learn more about it. While this book talks about both, the emphasis for me was on the mindful side, I've highlighted so many passages in (cont in comments)...

pick8-23-23: My 81st finished book of 2023! I‘m a big fan of yoga so this book called to me. Lee and her husband, Alan, own a yoga studio in Silver Lake, a suburb of LA. Katherine, Imani, Graciela and Stephanie are students. Katherine, a masseuse with a past, Imani, an actress who suffered a great loss, Stephanie, whose having problems with a script and Graciela, a dancer with an injury. They all forge a friendship at the studio with Lee.
