The best adventures are the ones you never see coming.
In 2005, Tori Hicks—a sometimes-successful, sometimes-struggling musical theater actress—stepped into a hot yoga class looking for a light sweat and a good stretch before yet another audition. What she found instead was a life-altering shift that would reshape everything she thought she knew about herself, her body, and her purpose.
Views from the Podium is the honest, funny, and deeply personal memoir of how one woman’s unexpected detour into the world of hot yoga became a calling. Told through her own experiences and the stories of five students from all walks of life, this book offers a candid and uplifting look at how yoga can be more than just a workout—it can be a way home to yourself.
This is Tori’s first book: a heart-filled reflection on healing, transformation, and what it really means to show up on the mat. Now a full-time yoga teacher and writer, she teaches her own method of yoga online at www.torig.yoga and lives in Aurora, Illinois.
