This tender poetic text is garnished with intricate line drawings depicting the natural world, abstracted anatomy, and yoga postures. Heart Rooted in Sky is about letting life crack you open and finding new ways to be. At its essence, this is a story of yoga, for it is a story of transformation. A woman stands at the trailhead of a dark woodland passage. It is a path that many avoid. On her journey she begins to take notice of the world around her and asks, "What is really here?" As the woman inquires into her environment, body, breath, and thoughts, she sheds her habitual behaviours, resentment, and stories of identity. By doing so, she transforms and opens to life as it unfolds. She learns to move from fear towards love.
