White Girl in Yoga Pants Melissa Scott

Melissa Scott has done a lot of yoga. Along the way, she's learned lessons about acceptance, overcoming, and inner strength. In White Girl in Yoga Pants, she meditates on those lessons and applies them to both the everyday and extraordinary experiences that make up the tapestry of life. With humor, vulnerability, and grace, she shares inspiring stories about using yoga to heal from an eating disorder and sexual assault. She discusses her frustrations and hopes for these divisive political times. She talks about the unique struggles women and yogis face in the social media age. And above all, she offers gratitude for the divine strength that keeps us all moving forward. Rooted in lessons from both on the mat and out in the world, this collection of essays is a love letter to the human spirit from one white girl in yoga pants.
