July 27th, 2012 This morning I was getting ready to leave for yoga and my daughter was sitting in the couch. She was complaining about some ailment and I told her to come to yoga.

July 13th, 2012 There is only one word to describe my yoga class today – TEDIOUS. Starting out the room was extra hot and humid. The teacher’s voice was slow and low. The set-ups took forreeever…..
