National Bestseller
Ten years ago, Claire Dederer put her back out while breastfeeding
her baby daughter. Told to try yoga by everyone from the woman
behind the counter at the co-op to the homeless guy on the corner,
she signed up for her first class. She fell madly in love.
Over the next decade, she would tackle triangle, wheel, and the
dreaded crow, becoming fast friends with some poses and developing
long-standing feuds with others. At the same time, she found
herself confronting the forces that shaped her generation.
Daughters of women who ran away to find themselves and made a few
messes along the way, Dederer and her peers grew up determined to
be good, good, good--even if this meant feeling hemmed in by the
smugness of their organic-buying, attachment-parenting, anxiously
conscientious little world. Yoga seemed to fit right into this
virtuous program, but to her surprise, Dederer found that the
deeper she went into the poses, the more they tested her most basic
ideas of what makes a good mother, daughter, friend, wife--and the
more they made her want something a little less tidy, a little more
improvisational. Less goodness, more joy.
"Poser "is unlike any other book about yoga you will read--because
it is actually a book about life. Witty and heartfelt, sharp and
irreverent, "Poser "is for anyone who has ever tried to stand on
their head while keeping both feet on the ground.
