Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga - Hardcover
Synopsis
Hell-Bent Lorr explores the fascinating, often surreal world of Bikram Yoga, a style taught to millions by a very living guru, Bikram Choudhury. Bikram Yoga is distinguished by the extreme heat it is practiced in, an overt focus on pain, and the materialism of its founder. Full description

Review
Extraordinarily thoughtful ... It is as once a searching act of self-examination, a fascinating scientific investigation, a brave spiritual endeavor, and a fair-minded look at one of yoga's most controversial icons. All in all, reading Hell-Bent makes for a wonderful, inspiring, maddening, complicated, edifying journey - and one that I was very happy to take (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love)
Just when you thought yoga couldn't get any hotter ... Here comes a New York insider's guide to the practice that is causing devotees to think again (Daily Telegraph)
Hell Bent is witty and wise. If you don't practice yoga, read it anyway - you may learn something about the impulse for self-transcendence. And if you do practice yoga, you will laugh and cry with recognition (New York Times)
Among the archness is an interesting debate about the interplay of the mental and physical in life - and sport - and how learning to use mind over body can achieve startling results (Book of the Week, Independent)
Fascinating ... Hell-Bent is an inspiring, well-researched and hilarious account of one man's transformation into a postural yoga champ (Australian Men’s Fitness)
Didn't get into barefoot running after reading Christopher McDougall's best-selling Born to Run? You'll be inspired to strip down into your intimates for hot yoga after devouring this read (Marie Claire)
Book Description
