And she actually critiques this performed intimacy in the book, as well. As she speaks openly about everything from past relationships to her body to smoking pot, you’ll feel as if she’s talking to you over coffee or on a mat in front of you at the head of the class. Those who already know and love her will not be surprised by the relaxed, talking-to-a-friend voice you find in Yoke. In her latest book, Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance, Stanley introduces us to what she calls the “yoga of everyday life:” which is applying the “lessons and techniques that you learn on your yoga mat to the daily project of living.” And throughout this hybrid memoir/cultural criticism, she uses aspects of her own life to demonstrate how it works. I’ve definitely noticed over time that fat, Black, queer bodies are marginalized on social media a little bit more than others, and I thought that I should have a place where all this yoga of everyday life-that perhaps is not fit for Instagram, or for TikTok-can live.
