Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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

Punishingly Intricate

You should look around your class and think, "I am the hottest rocker in the room."

Sometimes I am, sometimes not so much.

Aims, the red pepper jelly we're talking about is the sweet kind. Jalapenos in New England? Perish the thought!

“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.

And with respect to the amazing things that yoga can do-- pre-power yoga

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

A Danish chain of gyms is now offering membership free of charge, with the only caveat that you have to show up, in order for the membership to be free. If you fail to show up once per week you will be billed the normal monthly membership fee for that month.

You know this is probably an immensely profitable business model...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, Barb, at the risk of "none of your damn business, Trudy" did your skin shrink down with you and did you do anything to encourage that?

I've lost fortyish pounds so far and ::knock wood:: it seems to be behaving.
