IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION Tying it all together in her signature singular voice – funny, frank, and warm- YOKE is a unique blend of memoir, philosophy, and self-help. And she takes a hard look at the limitations and hypocrisies she has come to see in yoga culture-the consumerism, the cultural appropriation, the racism. She writes generously and openly about her search for authenticity, including her experience with imposter syndrome and self-hate. Jessamyn explores the larger themes of intersectionality and self-acceptance that inevitably arise in any yoga practice. This larger idea of “yoke” is what Jessamyn calls the yoga of the everyday-a yoga that is not just about perfecting your downward dog but about applying the hard lessons learned on the mat to the even harder daily project of living. In Sanskrit, yoga means to “yoke.” To yoke mind and body, movement and breath, light and dark, the good and the bad. In YOKE, Jessamyn takes readers on an autobiographical journey to self-acceptance. She will be in conversation with Adriene Mishler for this special event. Tickets for this event are $5 (plus a small processing fee) and are available on Eventbrite HERE or by clicking the button below. Jessamyn Stanley will speak about her new book, Yoke, on Thursday, July 15th at 5:00pm MT on Zoom.
