520    "Remember Jessamyn Stanley? How could you not? She's the 
       proudly fat, Black, queer yoga teacher and charismatic 
       author of Every Body Yoga, who drops a lot more f-bombs 
       than namastes and refuses to pray at the church of 
       Lululemon. Now she's back, here to take us even further on
       a personal and provocative journey into what it means to 
       "practice yoga." Where Every Body Yoga, with 59,000 copies
       in print, taught us how to do yoga, Yoke tells us why. In 
       Yoke, which draws its name from a literal translation of 
       the Sanskrit root "yuj," from which the word "yoga" 
       derives, Jessamyn writes about what she calls the yoga of 
       the everyday-a yoga that is not just about poses but about
       applying the hard lessons we learn on the mat to the even 
       harder daily project of living. This yoga of the everyday 
       is about finding within life's toughest moments the same 
       flexibility, strength, grounding energy, and core 
       awareness found in a headstand or Tadasana or cobra pose. 
       In a series of deeply honest, funny, gritty, thoughtful, 
       and largely autobiographical essays, Yoke explores issues 
       of self-love, body-positivity, race, sex and sexuality, 
       cannabis, and more, all through the lens of an authentic 
       yoga practice. Every reader is invited to find this 
       authentic spirit of yoga in their own lives and practice.
