Human beings and animals are the main subjects behind these eight present-day stories taking place in different settings around the world. A tapestry of themes such as freedom, transformation, jealousy, courage, hope, manipulation, hate and love become intricately woven with the thread of yoga. Originally thought of as fables with a single moral lesson, they organically evolved into stories that allow for multiple moral interpretations.The human and animal characters interchange traits, sometimes even their identities, as an allegory of the colorful illustrations that are an integral part of the reading experience. The eternal female presence can be felt throughout the book: women are portrayed as the villain or the victim, the abuser or the abused or both. Written from the perspective of an intermediate yoga student from the western hemisphere, this book aims to depict the full spectrum of human nature.
