Loosen up with a smile on your face...

Marion Deuchars has practised yoga for many years and well knows the benefits it brings. Now she shares that passion with her illustrated character Bob the Bird, whose expressive poses will charm you into a reviving session of yoga breathing, stretching, posing, and mindfulness.

Yoga for Stiff Birds rejects the clichés of studio photography in favour of a more immediate, inviting look. With a few brush strokes, Marion helps Bob into every position from the downward-facing dog to the tree; both useful and inspiring, her art will raise a smile. Whether you're a regular practitioner or a yoga novice, it will encourage even the creakiest reader to breathe, stretch, and bend like they never have before.
