My Yoga. My City. was created to celebrate the people who often feel overlooked in the world of yoga.
In a culture shaped by polished online images, yoga can begin to feel exclusive and intimidating. Many quietly step back, believing they are not flexible enough, strong enough, young enough, or experienced enough to belong. This book was made to show a different truth.
Across New York City, more than one hundred people shared their practice in the places they call home. The photos capture yoga as it actually lives in the world. Some moments are powerful and bold. Others are simple and quiet. All of them reflect the honesty, vulnerability, and courage that real practice requires.
The book highlights the diversity and depth of the city. It embraces all bodies, backgrounds, ages, and levels. It shows yoga in motion on sidewalks, in parks, near murals, along the water, and in unexpected pockets of beauty. The stories and images reveal how yoga can support healing, resilience, and community. They show how the practice holds space for each person, exactly as they are.
The book is dedicated to anyone who has ever wondered if yoga was meant for them. It offers a reminder that the practice is not about appearance or achievement. It is about presence, possibility, and the belief that showing up is enough. At its heart, My Yoga. My City. is a love letter to New York and to the everyday yogis who move through its streets with hope, strength, and sincerity. It was created to help every reader feel welcomed into the practice.
20% of all proceeds support Exhale to Inhale, a nonprofit that provides trauma informed yoga for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
