My number one problem area is my tight hamstrings. My number two problem area is my tight shoulders. Years of doing web design, plus a natural tendency to round my shoulders, has resulted in a lot of tension being held up there.

Over the years I’ve heard a lot of people saying that yoga changed their lives, to the point where it seems to become a cliche.
