    “Among the many ways to support our well-being today, the practice of yoga and mindful eating are two standouts. Through the consciousness-raising lens of the practices and philosophy of yoga, this lovely book offers an inspirational and synergistic appreciation of food as life and as medicine.”

    "From their little slice of Thousand Islands heaven, Price-Kellogg and Taylor serve up a novel smorgasbord of yoga delicacies. Masterly samplings of eternal teachings and exquisitely photographed postures are made all the tastier by accompanying recipes like 'Baba Ganesh' and 'Namaste Napoleons.' Yum indeed!"

    Carrie Schneider, Yoga Teacher, Author of American Yoga and Yoga Within

    “Such a refreshing way to look at and experience the ‘yoga’ of eating … Beautiful pictures of places, poses, people, and plates of healthy, vibrant food. The book is sprinkled with subtle humor on literally every page, along with recipes just inviting us back to our kitchens to prepare and enjoy with friends and family. What a concept!”
