6 posts | 3 read
What Karl Lagerfeld is to fashion, Edward Vilga is to yoga. He has poured his years of experience into this sexy, charming and well-written escapade. Simon Doonan, author Beautiful People, Gay Men Don't get Fat and the upcoming fashion memoir The Asylum A study in love, loss, and sexual misadventures in New York City, DOWNWARD DOG tells the tale of a handsome Bad Boy who becomes a yoga instructor while trying to redeem his womanizing ways and win the forgiveness of the only woman hes ever really loved. Down on his luck thanks to a failed nightlife venture which fell apart because of his womanizing, our heros stuck with massive debt and broken dreams. His only safe haven is the yoga world, and when his well-connected best buddy launches his yoga career among NYCs elite, our working class hero becomes a guru to societys top 1%, a wolf let loose amongst a flock of comely sheep. DOWNWARD DOG is not only a sexy/funny page turner, it also shares the emotional journey of one Bad Boys transformation and romantic redemption. Chip Conley, Founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels and Author of PEAK and Emotional Equations

I really liked the way poses were explained (In a fairly informal way!) at the beginning of sections. And that the ending didn‘t go as I expected.
Despite the MC being a massive ass half of the time, I did find him strangely likeable! And it was an enjoyable journey. The yoga teacher Gigi sounds amazing, and I need someone like her in my life!

Best Yoga Fiction I've read. Funny and sometimes raunchy. If you're a yogi, its worth readings just for descriptions of poses and the definition of 'yoga -lite'. It's also a great story of someone trying to find their way. To quote my favorite character Gigi "Poses. Life. It's the same shit." Her yoga classes definitely makes my #fictionalbucketlist

BAHAHAHA!!!!!
"Balance poses are like having a super-moody chick as a f*** buddy; you never know when you‘re going to get exactly what you want or go away empty-handed, maybe even slapped. Either way, you‘re never really on solid ground—just like in Tree Pose."

"CORPSE POSE (Savasana) Who doesn‘t like a nap? Like a flashback to kindergarten, this is how a yoga class ends."
