Description

No matter what we do in life, we will experience wobbles!

Wobbles are the physical and mental challenges we encounter both in our yoga practice and in our daily lives. The essays in this book, written by yoga teachers and practitioners, reveal their personal journeys in learning to accept and even be grateful for the wobbles they experience both on and off the yoga mat. Wobbles, these writers agree, are unavoidable, the key is to notice wobbles, not judge them. This book encourages us to think about the types of wobbles we experience both on and off the yoga mat, and challenges us to become more aware of our habitual, often unconscious, approach to managing wobbles. Finally, this book inspires us to embrace our wobbles as a source of wisdom to help us grow and live a satisfying life.

Embrace your Wobbles is the Chicken Noodle Soup for your Yoga soul. Easy and entertaining to read. A seasoned yoga practitioner or someone who hasn't found their flow on the mat will enjoy the essays. The collection of stories offers both advice and wisdom about how a yoga practice supports every part of the human being and reading them you will find the warm spark to roll out your mat!

I found this book to be very enlightening when it comes to facing my wobbles on the mat. I have practiced yoga for years, off and on unfortunately, and considered myself still a beginner. This book offered inspiration. It’s like a book of essays written by many people telling their own stories and experiences. I wouldn’t say it’s a book to read from start to finish, but more like a book to read one article daily or so, for added inspiration to your yoga practice.

This is actually a collection of essays by a wide variety of authors.

I really liked the overall theme of this book. I've never ready a yoga book before, so this was a great place to start. A few of my notes at the bottom are my self reminders on things to investigate. Please note that my reviews often aren't really a review, they are more like my cliff notes that I take while reading books. Also, I received a free copy of this book from https://www.netgalley.com/

Yoga reminds us that as we strive for balance on the mat and in our lives, we're bound to wobble and that's ok. That wobbles in yoga and life are something we can learn and grow from.

Don't run. Don't resist your reality. Embrace it. Embrace the wobble.

"Open your eyes. You are struggling without knowing where you are going", she said

Being wobbly is sexy, because it means you're willing to go someplace that is uncertain and that's so much more wonderful than being afraid to move out of your comfort zone

Shifting the nature of my inner dialogue from critical to compassionate.

Finding equilibrium - that steady place between effort and surrender

On and off the mat, understanding when support is needed and asking for it or accepting it when it is offered may be helpful.

Look-up:

Muni Natarajan - drumming and chanting.

As a long time practitioner, but very recently certified teacher of yoga this book was just what I needed. These essays all have beautiful and uplifting messages. They remind us that letting go is important and that we need those occasion wobbles to learn and grow.

People who practice yoga always seem so calming and sure, this book proves they have 'wobbles ' just like all of us!
I found it quite an enlightening read that I will certainly be reading over again.
A good book for dipping into to time and time again.

I was granted complimentary access to Embrace Your Wobbles via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was just getting into making yoga part of my routine when this book came up on NetGalley, so I thought why not, let's see what this is about. I'm glad I did! Embrace Your Wobbles is an uplifting collection of essays that teaches the virtues of a yoga lifestyle, but not necessarily exclusively within the bounds of yoga practise. It's full of great advice, a healthy dose of humour, and some different perspectives you might never have considered before.
