Yoga Rising is a collection of personal essays meant to support your journey toward self-acceptance and self-love. This follow-up to the ground-breaking work Yoga and Body Image features 30 contributors who share stories of major turning points and explore how body image and yoga intersect with ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, dis/ability, socioeconomic status, age, size, and society. Collectively, we can make space for yoga that is body positive and accessible to the full range of human diversity. With a special emphasis on how you can take action to build community and challenge destructive attitudes and structures, Yoga Rising is a resource for the continuing work of healing ourselves and our world as we move toward liberation for all.
