--Alice Grist, author of Dirty and Divine and Soulful Pregnancy
--Lyn Thurman, author of Goddess Rising and The Inner Goddess Revolution "Yoga for Witches is smart, well-written, and its subject is a welcome change and unique contribution to the ever expanding literature of contemporary Witchcraft. Most important, the author's genuine and warm-hearted spirit welcomes and encourages the reader to discover, explore, and cultivate a life filled with real magic."
--Phyllis Curott, Wiccan priestess, activist attorney, internationally bestselling author of Book of Shadows, Wicca Made Easy, and The Witches Wisdom Tarot, and vice chair emerita of Parliament of the World's Religions "A must-read for all the closet yoga-witches out there needing the tools and motivations to proudly reclaim herstory as healers, wise women, goddesses, yogis, priestesses, and oracles."
--Tamara Pitelen, founder of Blue Dea Books, author, energy healer, and yoga instructor "I have longed for a book like this to be written! I've noticed many correlations between witchcraft and yoga, and Sarah puts them in words that are eloquent and knowledgeable in Yoga for Witches. The blend between the craft of a Witch and the deep-rooted history of Yoga brings, through the many well-crafted spiritual practices in this book, the reader to stay grounded through the breath and movement, and be mindful of the many cycles we as witches follow."
--Katie Smith, astrologer and designer of the Urban Witchery Planner "Yoga for Witches is a treat for yoginis and witches alike. The book is a practical friend for everyone who's looking to integrate our indigenous wisdom of witchery and earth-based connection with the spiritual practices of yoga. Sarah Robinson offers a valuable, simple guide for the curious yogi or the beginning witch. This is a great introduction to the fundamental links between an embodied cyclical practice of everyday witchcraft and the most straightforward of yoga techniques."
--Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, PhD, author of Yoni Shakti and cofounder of the Yoga Nidra Network and Santosa Eco Yoga Camps "If I ever take up yoga, this is the book I'm going to use."
--Paula Brackston, author of The Witch's Daughter "In Yoga for Witches Sarah Robinson has found a delightful balance as she simultaneously demystifies and honors the mystery inherent in both yoga and witchcraft. This book is rich with information about both traditions, yet it never overwhelms the reader. Deeply scholarly and yet totally accessible, Yoga for Witches awakens the magic within each one of us."
--Gina Martin, author of the When She Wakes trilogy
