Yoga & Books: Braiding Sweetgrass

Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants.

In this book of essays, author Robin Wall Kimmerer shows how other living beings?asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass?offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices.

Her reflections remind us of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world and that only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Yoga & Books is a 6-week series that helps us deepen our knowledge and live our yoga off the mat. Suggested reading is made each week along with optional journal prompts and reflections.
