Friedrich Nietzsche once said: “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."Welcome then, to SoCal Hot Yoga, a world in which normally sane folk forego the glorious California sunshine and submit themselves to hours of torturous contortion within insanely hot and sticky studios throughout the county.
This was the world into which British ex-pat, Tina, was unwittingly drawn by well-meaning neighbours shortly after arriving in west coast USA some six years ago, almost literally a baptism of fire!
Incredibly, not only did she re-hydrate sufficiently to go a second time, but Tina has now utterly embraced this dedicated practice to the point of enduring the gruelling 200-hour Hot Yoga Teacher Training Programme, an experience that has clearly left it’s mark!
With over 40 limerick verses and humorous literary meanderings, all beautifully illustrated by the author herself, Limbericks is a book of Tina’s wry observations of the characters and personalities that make your friendly, neighbourhood Yoga studio such a rich and fulfilling place to torture yourself.
So, roll out your mat, find your Savasana and share in the trials and tribulations of Tina’s journey to Yogic Karma.
Honestly, you won’t regret it.......she didn’t!
