My friend, Jake Wilson, wasn’t supposed to change my life. He’s a strength trainer, and I’m a yoga instructor. I like my days planned and my commitments manageable. When Jake unexpectedly needs a volleyball partner, saying yes adds practices and games—and threatens the balance I work hard to maintain. I already give most of my energy to work, and I’m not eager to hand over what little free time I have left. So, I make him a deal. He tries yoga and I play volleyball. It seems simple enough. Except the more time we spend together—on the sand and off—the harder it becomes to ...
