Overview
APRENDER A HABITAR EL CUERPO PARA VOLVER A HABITAR TU VIDA.
El debut íntimo y emocional de una ilustradora que aprende a sostenerse —y a salvarse— sobre una esterilla.
«Belén Segarra es frescura, es dinamismo, es crítica; todo ello, cargado de una gran dosis de surrealismo.» —David Alarcón, Vein
Belén está cansada de sentirse al borde del precipicio, de tener que lidiar con una tristeza que no sabe definir y de convivir con un «demonio interior» que le oprime el pecho. Cuando un terrible ataque de pánico la obliga a detenerse y acaba, casi por accidente, en una clase de yoga, lo último que espera encontrar allí es un camino para reconstruirse.
Entre respiraciones torpes, equilibrios imposibles y un puñado de compañeros peculiares y entrañables —su inseparable amigo Sergio; Rosario, una alumna octogenaria que ejecuta las asanas con una gracia inesperada, o Carlota, una mística tan intensa como fascinante—, Belén descubre que el yoga no es solo una práctica física, sino un modo de estar en el mundo y de sostenerse cuando todo se tambalea.
Con humor, ternura y una extraordinaria sensibilidad visual, Mi libro de yoga es un relato luminoso, a medio camino entre la novela gráfica, el diario íntimo y la guía ilustrada, sobre la posibilidad de renacer desde el lugar más pequeño e inesperado: una esterilla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
LEARNING TO INHABIT YOUR BODY TO REINHABIT YOUR LIFE.
The intimate and emotional debut of an illustrator who learns to sustain herself—and save herself—on a yoga mat.
“Belén Segarra is freshness, dynamism, and criticism—all infused with a generous dose of surrealism.”—David Alarcón, Vein
Belén is tired of feeling on the edge of a precipice, of having to deal with a sadness she can’t define, and of living with an “inner demon” that weighs heavily on her chest. When a terrible panic attack forces her to stop and she ends up, almost by accident, in a yoga class, the last thing she expects to find there is a path to rebuilding herself.
Amid clumsy breaths, impossible balances, and a handful of quirky and endearing classmates—her inseparable friend Sergio; Rosario, an octogenarian student who performs the asanas with unexpected grace, or Carlota, a mystic as intense as she is fascinating—Belén discovers that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a way of being in the world and of holding herself steady when everything is reeling.
With humor, tenderness, and extraordinary visual sensitivity, My Yoga Book is a luminous story—halfway between a graphic novel, a personal diary, and an illustrated guide—about the possibility of being reborn from the smallest and most unexpected place: a yoga mat.
