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.

So it may take Gaiam Yoga Club to finally get me to try handstand. Well, I am trying it, but up against the wall in my hallway. Rodney Yee suggests climbing your way up into handstand using a door jamb, but my doors must be super narrow because there is no way I can fit [...]
