And I love my yoga studio so that helps. Sometimes I look around and think "I'm the fattest person in this class"
You should look around your class and think, "I am the hottest rocker in the room."

I don't care for the yoga at home because a) I lack motivation and b) unlike the rest of you, I don't have faith that I'm doing it correctly enough -- because of a back injury once upon a time, I'm just not a good judge of when I'm even or listing to one side.

Looks like I had it about right, though I think the recipe I have at home (from my Mimi) has more stuff. [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yoga has done AMAZING things for my back. I am not a limber person and I have to modify a lot of poses but a patient, good teacher is a lot of help. I can't do practice at home because every time I get on the floor, I am piled on by kids. So a class is essential for me.
I just wish I had smaller boobs because I usually end up breathing recycled cleavage air during yoga.

I kind of miss yoga. Maybe I'll catch a class or two at the local studio.

Sometimes I am, sometimes not so much.

“Not dead yet!”
I desperately miss my power yoga class from Hudson. I had the best teacher and I think that's part of the problem with trying to find a class down here-- I've tried at least a half dozen different teachers and had a difficult time finding a class that I felt had the right combination of intensity and common-sense approach. The class I went to in Hudson had every body type known to mankind in it, all different levels of ability and yet, Carson made each class feel as if it were tailored just for the individual. Great, great teacher.

Barb, what made the power yoga "power"? I'm assuming it wasn't gentle flowing hatha yoga, but would you mind describing it a little?
