Jessamyn Stanley: Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance

Bookmarks is thrilled to welcome Jessamyn Stanley back to Bookmarks to celebrate the launch of her new book, Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance. Stanley is the author of Every Body Yoga and an internationally acclaimed voice in wellness, highly sought after for her insights on 21st-century yoga and intersectional identity. Yoke is a series of deeply honest, funny autobiographical essays exploring everything from imposter syndrome to cannabis to why it’s a full-time job loving yourself, all through the lens of yoke. Stanley will be in conversation with E’laina Barron, a poet and spoken word artist who works for the Kenan Institute at UNCSA, where Stanley attended graduate school.

Customers who pre-order Yoke from Bookmarks will be invited to a special seated breathwork exercise with Stanley starting at 6:00 pm; doors for the general event will open at 6:30 pm with a booksigning to follow. This event is sponsored by Salem College & Academy. Strict Covid protocols will be in place, including wearing masks and distancing from other attendees.
