“There is so much good information in this book… Yogis may find a desire to write and writers will find support for turning their sedentary, often lonely, vocation, into an embodied and dynamic practice.” —Ascent Magazine

“Jeff Davis inspires us to find the genuine voice of our own body/mind by sharing the time-tested yogic practices of breathing consciously, getting grounded, and creating space. This book is a terrific road map toward creating the conditions for writing to happen.”
— Cyndi Lee, founder of OM Yoga

“Finally a book that blurs the distinction between Doing and Being.”
— Jack Meyers, poet laureate of Texas, 2003, and director of creative writing at Southern Methodist University
