ABOUT THE BOOK
Whether she’s practicing handstands on her stand-up
paddleboard or teaching Downward-Facing Dog to the masses,
Rachel Brathen—Instagram’s @yoga_girl—has made it her
mission to share inspirational messages with people from all
corners of the world. In Yoga Girl, Brathen takes readers
beyond her Instagram feed and shares her journey like never

Rica, and finally to the beautiful and bohemian life she’s
built through yoga and meditation in Aruba today.
Featuring spectacular photos of Brathen practicing yoga with
breathtaking tropical backdrops, along with step-by-step
yoga sequences and simple recipes for a healthy, happy, and
fearless lifestyle—Yoga Girl is like an armchair vacation to
a Caribbean spa.
