Nearly two months ago, I posted about my brother’s quest to get healthy. He needed something drastic (His Doctor said so.), and he chose Bikram Yoga as his tool.
It’s amazing. Completing 30 classes has produced significant results. Here’s what Steve tells me:

It’s that time of year again, when we read/hear about the latest and greatest hangover cures.
But Athletic-Minded Travelers don’t get hangovers, do we? Well maybe some of us do, but only because all that athleticism has made us permanent light-weights. So in the event you find yourself in need of [...]
