Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses By Claire Dederer

Claire Dederer has written a witty and heartfelt book. Through her spiritual search practicing yoga, she finds that the poses weren't just acrobatic feats. The deeper that she explored them, the more they tested her most basic ideas of what makes a good mother, daughter, friend and wife. Suddenly headstand, was a way to wrestle with anxieties that she had always dodged, jump through helped her to understand her mother's flight (and maybe her own pursuit of freedom) and the dreaded crow reminded her that loosing one's balance could be worth a great deal more than keeping one's feet on the ground.

It's a wonderful book!!!!
