Publisher's Synopsis
A wonderfully fresh and revelatory invitation to create a personal yoga practice that seamlessly melds individual health and well-being with spiritual insight, earth stewardship, and cultural transformation Before there was spandex and yoga studios and Zoom classes, there was yoga. And before yoga, there was, of course, the earth. Yoga practices evolved, over centuries, as a means to health, emotional well-being, and spiritual enlightenment. Rebecca Wildbear embodies this trajectory. She came to a yoga practice after a life-threatening encounter with cancer in her twenties. It was not an immediate fit, but over years of practice and healing around the world, she devised the unique and user-friendly practice she presents in Wild Yoga. While sharing her own experience, and that of hundreds of clients, Wildbear shows readers of any or no yoga experience how to: meet their bodies and emotions where they are, including grief, trauma, and vulnerability tune in to the natural world around them - whether backyard, seashore, or mountain - or an imagined dream place Commune with the earth's body through their own body and thus to all the peoples and places around them This is a vibrant and passionate take on melding the solace we find through yoga with the active awareness we know our planet demands and deserves right now.
