It’s a Long Way to the Floor

This novella takes the reader on a lighthearted journey of how yoga changed David physically, mentally and spiritually. It also looks at questions such as where and how one should practice, the difference between good and bad pain, whether yoga can be practiced outside of religion and how simply slowing one's breath can calm a person down.

“David does a wonderful job of describing his personal experiences of his epic journey into the world of yoga and consciousness.”

“As we are reminded by the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, each man has the choice; either to go away from the safety of the known toward a church that stands somewhere in the East or to stay within the familiar and die there, inside the dishes and in the glasses. My heart is forever gladdened by men who, having chosen to journey deeply into yoga, have followed through by sharing their adventure with others. David Byck recounts his quest in a uniquely personal and absorbing manner.
I enjoyed reading every page.”
