Here are 40 yoga poses specifically designed for gardeners' bodies and spirits to stretch, relax, and grow through the seasons.

In this beautifully illustrated book, yoga poses are divided into seasonal sequences--or flows--each addressing the gardener's body, the state of the garden, and the natural world.
