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.
