Cory Martin talks about her life with two chronic illnesses - MS and lupus. The book was a good read. It was very inspirational. Martin talks about her yoga practice and how her body & expectations have changed with time. She talks about different yoga principles and how she applies them in her life.

Each chapter ends with a yoga asana - an explanation of how to do the pose and a beautiful illustration.

Martin comes off as a very approachable person. Her writing style is clear and she talks about her struggles in a very positive way. Her writing is real and she hooked me in. I read this in one sitting.

Not related to the book directly, but sometimes life confuses me. At one point, the author mentions that she has to keep working even when she is bone tired (and her tired is actual tired courtesy MS & Lupus) because she needs money to fill her prescription. When I read about such things, I feel terrible because as a society, we still do not have good systems in place to help people navigate life in difficult times even though we have progressed so much.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. This doesn't impact my opinion in any way. Thanks to the author and publisher for the free copy.
