About the Book

Yoga Schmoga is a memoir/manifesto of restlessness and wakefulness. 

Yoga Schmoga is a humorous way of saying Your Yoga. Your Dharma. Your truth, your path, your calling, your purpose in life. You’ve got to figure it out for yourself, but it is definitely somewhere out (or rather, in) there. 

This memoir chronicles how yoga affected my formation over the course of 20 years. It features stories and essays on career, mental health, dating and relationships and spirituality. The manifesto outlines the what, where, why and how of a spiritual practice centered around yoga and mindfulness.
