Nadia Gilani is a writer who has also led yoga classes for many years (because she loves it). Yoga hasn’t always been an easy ride. In fact it’s been really hard at times, but somehow the practice has been a consistent source of inspiration over the years.

Her first book The Yoga Manifesto, weaves together memoir and critique by following Nadia’s personal highs and lows with the practice as both yoga student and teacher while also shining a spotlight on the industry surrounding modern yoga and its many problems.
