A KNITTER's HANDBOOK FOR SELF-DISCOVERY

Whether you want to read cover to cover or just dip into different topics here and there, Yoga of Yarn is practical and accessible.

This practical guide takes knitters of all levels on a fulfilling journey of self-discovery.

Using a unique combination of yoga philosophy, movements, meditations, breathing techniques and stitch patterns, Yoga of Yarn re-establishes our knitting practice on a new, stronger foundation -- a foundation that not only enhances our experience as knitters, but also helps us maintain a centered calm in every aspect of our lives.

No prior yoga experience is necessary. All you need is a body, a chair, and a sincere willingness to care for yourself and try new things that will help you knit with greater ease.
