Man, was I on a hot streak. I'd started lifting weights more seriously in October, starting eating more carbs in December, which accelerated my progress so that by January, I was in the best shape of my life. I started following a training program, and I was so psyched to see that my training was paying off in my yoga practice. All of the sudden, the elusive handstands were not only coming, they were coming and hanging out, staying a while, allowing my legs to dance around upside down.
