Take yoga with you anywhere with Yoga to the Rescue's 48 card pose deck. These poses are each from the seven categories (sexy, calm, energy, restore, cleanse, sanity, and ragtime (PMS)), author Amy Luwis uses to cover everything from too much ice cream to a mind in overdrive.

"My goal is to encourage women of all shapes, attitudes, and sizes to discover the wonders of yoga, but this won't happen if they feel intimidated and yoga can be intimidating. I wanted to make yoga accessible and bring levity to it, so I created Yoga to the Rescue: Remedies for Real Girls—if I can entice a few sedentary girls into Virasana and turn a few yogaphics into yoginis then I will have succeeded!" —Amy Luwis, author or Yoga to the Rescue: Remedies for Real Girls and CEO/Creator of RescueGirl®.
