Ever tried moving from one arm balance to another in yoga class, only to end up face-first on your mat, wondering if your body forgot it even had arms?

“I can’t do yoga, I can’t even touch my toes. See? My hamstrings are too tight.”
If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned the hamstrings in a yoga conversation, I’d be writing this from my private island.

When the topic of meditation comes up, most people wave a hand and say,
“Nahhh, I can’t meditate. That stuff’s not for me.”
