A must read! Demystifying Yoga is Donna’s story, my story, and the story of all practitioners who came to yoga from their longing to find their true self. It’s the universal experience of empowerment, transformation, happiness and real fulfillment. Highly recommended! – Kirti Khalsa * CEO, Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation *
Demystifying Yoga is an in depth and unique Yoga FAQ. As you read it, it is as if you are having an actual conversation with Donna; informative, engaging, light and funny at times, but still disruptive…We get to connect with Donna through her openly sharing how yoga was a major part of her healing journey from Bell’s palsy, personal insights about how microagressions within the yoga space affected both her and her students. It was also good to read of Donna’s lived experience of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. – Yvonne O’Garro * Restorative Yoga Teacher *
What I most love about Donna Noble is that she walks her talk. This book contains valuable knowledge, shared in a clear way so that you can both see how yoga has excluded different groups and how various groups are now claiming yoga and reaping the benefits. Donna has been instrumental in bringing yoga to many of these groups and it is not only well worth reading her book. I would highly recommend attending one of her classes. – Julia Davis * Co-Author “Circle Holding: A Practical Guide to Facilitating Talking Circles *
Yoga is for every body. That has always been true, but it has not always been practised. Donna has written the book yoga has needed for a long time. This is required reading for anyone who teaches, practises or simply loves yoga. You won’t be disappointed. – Hannah Barrett * Author, yoga teacher and founder of Yoga Happy *
Donna Noble’s “Demystifying Yoga” bravely asks the question, “Who is missing from yoga spaces, and why?” Drilling down through layers of history, culture, and oppression, Noble brilliantly unearths essential truths about yoga: These teachings are for all people for all time. No one is excluded from yoga’s eternal embrace. – Jivana Heyman * Founder and Director of Accessible Yoga *
