Stretch: The Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude - Softcover

"[Neal Pollack is] a yoga bad boy, a bong-hitting carnivore with a taste for laughter...a highly entertaining guide as he investigates the good, bad and ugly of the yoga spectrum...Both sincere and subversive, Pollack will likely inspire more than one reader to commit to yoga."--Kirkus Reviews

"Touching as well as funny...Ultimately, Pollack lampoons himself more than the culture, and this is perhaps the most compelling evidence of Pollack's conversion: his inability to be snarky about yoga."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Neal Pollack has a well documented history of putting himself into ridiculous positions, but never so literally... If Eat, Pray, Love had been written by a sweaty, aging, male smartass, then that book might be called Stretch, and Elizabeth Gilbert would be named Neal Pollack."----John Hodgman

The author recounts his transformation from overweight and balding writer and failed rock star to becoming a yoga teacher, taking part in a 24-Hour Yogathon, attending a "yoga Olympics" and going to yoga conferences and yoga rock shows. Original. 30,000 first printing.
