On the hunt as well for a physical copy of Yinsights by Bernie Clark - not available on Amazon, not available at the few small bookstores around Sydney I looked up, only available for like $200-$600(!?!?) on Book Depository, starting price for a copy on eBay is $300. What is this, yoga gold/crack!? Obviously must be out of print.. but this only makes me want to read it the MOST.. it will be mine.. oh yes, it will be mine..
