ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
LEARNING TO INHABIT YOUR BODY TO REINHABIT YOUR LIFE.
The intimate and emotional debut of an illustrator who learns to sustain herself--and save herself--on a yoga mat.
"Bel n Segarra is freshness, dynamism, and criticism--all infused with a generous dose of surrealism."--David Alarc n, Vein
Bel n is tired of feeling on the edge of a precipice, of having to deal with a sadness she can't define, and of living with an "inner demon" that weighs heavily on her chest. When a terrible panic attack forces her to stop and she ends up, almost by accident, in a yoga class, the last thing she expects to find there is a path to rebuilding herself. Amid clumsy breaths, impossible balances, and a handful of quirky and endearing classmates--her inseparable friend Sergio; Rosario, an octogenarian student who performs the asanas with unexpected grace, or Carlota, a mystic as intense as she is fascinating--Bel n discovers that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a way of being in the world and of holding herself steady when everything is reeling. With humor, tenderness, and extraordinary visual sensitivity, My Yoga Book is a luminous story--halfway between a graphic novel, a personal diary, and an illustrated guide--about the possibility of being reborn from the smallest and most unexpected place: a yoga mat.
