“I want every woman who has ever cursed her thighs, sucked in her
stomach when she got out of bed naked in front of her partner,
hated another woman for being thinner, or otherwise judged her body
to read this book. Anna’s stories will heal you. Her yoga
suggestions will liberate you. This book is a transmission of
something essential that so many of us need. Please read it and
then give copies to all your friends. I love this book!”

“Finally. A book that puts our culture’s destructive body-shaming
to rest and gives women the tools they need to forge a new, more
loving relationship with their bodies. In Curvy Yoga, Anna shares
her own journey from shame and self-loathing to compassionate
curiosity and self-love with gentle humor and great insight. In
doing so, she shows every woman who has ever struggled with body
acceptance how to ‘love herself to inner freedom.’ The practices
she offers and the wisdom she dispenses encourage us to be kind and
take time to get to know our bodies not as adversaries, but as
friends and allies; to soften the way we treat and speak about
them; and to embrace what we need to feel joyful and
whole.”
