Specificatii
My mother used to chant in Sanskrit in her study before sunrise
every morning. Though she died when I was 16--22 years ago--I
always hear her voice that way. Off-key, but strangely hypnotic,
the language both complicated and pure, reverberating around our
house.For a kid growing up in Southern Ohio -- Bible belt country
-- the sound was both alluring and repellent.What's your mother
doing? my friends would ask.Being a weirdo, I told them.And so
encapsulates the coming of age story of Sasha Brown, a transplanted
tween plunked in the middle of the Bible Belt with a macrobiotic
hippy mom and a ribs-eating dad. A writer whose work has appeared
in The New York Times, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan, Brown's prose is
heartfelt and hilarious, revealing her quest to find her way as two
worlds collide. While other moms were at Bible study, her mom was
studying Sanskrit; while other were finding friendship at
Tupperware parties, her mom was finding enlightenment at the
ashram. And when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she
chose a healthy diet and yoga over aggressive chemo.When her mother
died, Brown ran as far away from yoga as she could until a running
injury left her needing the very thing she was running from. It was
there--on the mat--that she processed her grief and found her
mother again. As she went deeper into the poses, she discovered she
was more like her mother than she thought. Through it all, she
found a deeper understanding of the practice, of the breath, and of
the life her mother lost too young. The practice that once seemed
easy and slow compared to pounding the pavement in a new pair of
Asics became the biggest challenge of her life. She learned that
yoga is so much more than asana. So much more than breath. So much
more than perfect poses. The union of yoga became one of heart and
mind, and finally, with that maternal energy Sasha had been missing
for so many years. In the space that she focused her mind and
pushed her body to its breaking point was where she would see her
mother. In the space of her yoga mat, she and her mother connect
across time. Namaste the Hard Way is an ode to the timeless bond
between mothers and daughters.Plucky and poignant, Namaste the Hard
Way is for anyone who didn't want to walk in their mother's shoes
(or sandals).
