Going Om - Real-Life Stories on and off the Yoga Mat (Paperback)

With candid, witty, and compelling experiences of yoga from renowned memoirists, including Cheryl Strayed (author of the number-one "New York Times" bestseller "Wild"), Claire Dederer (author of national bestseller "Poser: My Life in 23 Yoga Poses"), Dinty W. Moore (author of "The Accidental Buddhist"), Neal Pollack (author of "Stretch: The Making of a Yoga Dude") and many others, "Going Om" shares a range of observations about this popular practice. Unlike books on yoga that provide instruction on technique, "Going Om" is a unique collection of personal narratives from celebrated authors. This anthology of original material values the quality of writing over the authors' flexibility. Ira Sukrungruang shares his heartbreaking struggle as a 375 pound yoga student discovering self-worth on his mat; Gloria Munoz explores the practice of stillness with lyrical elegance in the midst of her busy mind; Neal Pollack's signature sarcasm leads to surprising turns at yoga class with his dad; Elizabeth Kadetsky uses yogic wisdom while coping with her mother's devastating Alzheimer's.
