Yoga Heartsongs Ashley Asti

"Yoga changes everything," Ashley Asti writes in these Heartsongs, an ode to the all-encompassing soul of yoga. Written, in part, during her training to become a yoga teacher, this book invokes the journey yoga takes us on-on and off our mats. Her words capture the essence of each pose, bringing to life the animals, the gods, and the earth we embody as we shape ourselves into downward-facing dogs, warriors, and trees on our mats. As her verses bring form to the community that seems to rise up, often unexpectedly, to carry us through as we practice in unison, she summons the spirit of Love, the heart of what it means to be a yogi. This book is for anyone who has ever stepped on a yoga mat-or longed to, and to every teacher who brings their heart and the heart of yoga to their students.
