Yoga While You Wait: Finding Purpose in Each Pointless Pause

Judith Stoletzky is an award-winning creative director, communication designer, copywriter, and author. She splits her time between Hamburg, Germany, and Ottawa, Canada. She develops concepts for advertising, magazines, and books. She is always searching for the funny in the serious, the crazy in the rational, and the quirky in the normal. She has published four imaginative books, which are humorously centered around the pursuit of happiness-one way or another: obsessively cooking with an Italian Chef, following Picasso's footsteps at the Côte d'Azur and enjoying french cuisine with the Mafia, baking sourdough bread, and patiently doing Yoga While You Wait.

Presenting poses for anyone who spends way too much time waiting! Waiting is a gift. Be glad when you're stuck in traffic or put on hold. Be grateful when the waiting room is full.
