The hilarious true account of an overweight, balding, skeptical
guy's unexpected transformation into a healthy, blissful yoga
fiend.
Neal Pollack was out of shape. The hair on his head was thinning
and the hair on his face was pretentious--traits a New York Times
critic gleefully pointed out while panning his second book.
Combined with the predestined failure of his punk rock band, it was
almost too much for Pollack to bear. He was willing to try anything
to get his life back on track . . . even yoga.
While struggling to master difficult poses without kicking other
yogis in the face, Pollack actually, remarkably, began to feel
better, both in body and mind. Soon he found himself immersed in
the "weird and circuslike" world of yoga. He participated in a
24-hour yogathon, attended yoga conferences and Asian retreats,
went to yoga rock shows, started getting regular assignments for
Yoga Journal magazine, and, finally, began teaching yoga classes
himself.
Stretch mercilessly lampoons the bizarre, omnipresent culture of
yoga, but it's also a story of profound personal transformation.
Pollack started off mocking yoga. Now he's become one of its most
enthusiastic proponents.
