I'm used to taking bits and pieces of yoga sequences I've learned and chaining them together to take care of myself after long days hiking, hunting, climbing and backpacking. Jana's book is a brilliant solution for those of us who need yoga for the exact purpose of supporting ourselves in the outdoors without the advanced nature of studio yoga. I love how she's catered her sequences for precisely how I'm using my body. Its practical, doable, and a really fun way to rediscover how yoga can be a functional part of my outdoor life." --Lindsay B. Davis, VP Outdoor Recreation Roundtable<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jana Kilgore is a 500-hour registered yoga teacher based in Kauai, Hawaii.
