Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance Audiobook Download by Jessamyn Stanley

When I was in the library one day, a stack of audio books caught my eye. The tapes were old and out of date located in the back corner. I pulled one out, found that it was about yoga, and asked for a copy.

Yoke was a huge turning point in my life. It changed how I thought about myself, how I treated myself and how I interacted with the world. Yoke will change you too.

[Jessamyn Stanley] tells the story of her journey to yoga, the first time she tried it, and how yoga helped her reject the expectations of others.

My yoga of self-acceptance is a difficult yoga because it takes people to a place they're not comfortable with. It's a difficult yoga because it's about opening yourself up to the truth of who you are, and accepting that truth.

Jessamyn Stanley's autobiography, Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance, is a work of self-love and healing. Her memoir is a deeply personal story of her journey to healthier living as she shares with the reader what she calls "The Yoke"--the yoga philosophy that helps her find strength in vulnerability and empowerment in surrender.

Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance is an inspiring and practical guide to living with more self-acceptance. Jessamyn Stanley has spent the last two decades teaching yoga, giving talks, writing articles and books, and tackling social justice issues that affect our society. She has served as a coach for many people in this same time period, encouraging them to work on their self-acceptance before accepting others. Her words are powerful and her voice is bright.
