Hell-Bent explores a fascinating, often surreal world at the extremes of American yoga. Benjamin Lorr walked into his first yoga studio on a whim, overweight and curious, and quickly found the yoga reinventing his life. He was studying Bikram Yoga (or “hot yoga”) when a run-in with a master and competitive yoga champion led him into an obsessive subculture—a group of yogis for whom eight hours of practice a day in 110- degree heat was just the beginning.

Very Good

I have wanted to read this book for a long time, and when I started I was shocked to realize that I actually taught the author his first class in Brooklyn Heights all those years ago.
This is a fascinating and clear insight into the world of Bikram yoga - the beautiful, the miraculous, the touching, the shallow, the ugly. There are several key people who aren't mentioned, but perhaps their stories are told through the stories of others and wouldn't have added.
Excellent, insightful, thoughtful, entertaining. I highly recommend.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.
