This is for real!
We’ve been freaked out before by cemetery yoga…yes yoga in a graveyard! But never had our little horrified imaginations ever wandered to the thought of…funeral home yoga? But wait, it’s for death meditation, part of the Tibetan Buddhist culture, so of course confronting and meditating on death adjacent to an embalming room [...]

Room service! Would you like a side of vasithasana with your vichyssois?
Last week we cracked up at the idea of in-room bed warmers - live people in special suits?! So would it really be so bizarre for hotels to offer in-room private yoga as a standard amenity? We say no! And may we also be [...]

A gimmick? a trend? A Movement?
Oh Nudieness is growing all right..(esp in SF) did you know about Skinbook? It’s a whole social-networking site specifically for nudists!
Sure with all this jib jabbing about who’s wearing what to yoga class and the cost of making your tush look firm, it does kinda make you want to forget [...]

We know some yogsters are gonna LOVE this and some are going to freak right out.
Remember Rollerblades? They were all the rage back in the days of cutoffs and poofy hairsprayed bangs. These days ‘in-line skating’ ranks among the list of extreme sports, but the actual ‘Rollerblade‘ brand hasn’t seen a great spin of sales [...]

have an opinion? take the poll (scroll down)
Let’s see… there’s yoga for elders, yoga for kids, yoga to restore, yoga to rehabilitate, yoga to invigorate, yoga for gravity-dissers, yoga for DOGs, for barking out loud! (heh) Why not yoga for Big Bods? Fat Yoga? (why is fat a bad word anyway?) By now if you [...]

As the NY Daily News points out there’s much to NOT laugh about: like recession, swine flu, and RAIN. Good grief!
But even stone-faced NYers made their way out to crack a smile and a few ribs in Central Park yesterday for the [...]

“Between layoffs, threats of terrorism, and tainted dog food, the world can be a stressful place for you and your four-legged friends.” [Hard nosed CNN reporter]

For the most part we’ve refrained from comment on the whole Doga thing. Hey we think it’s pretty adorable and probably therapeutic for either companion, but it strikes us as a little kooky (we’re not the only ones, look at that little pup’s mug- we don’t know what he’s thinking but it sure doesn’t look [...]

Meditations on Mutations…
With stress raised to level Orange these days folks have been seeking yoga in droves as a means to relief and sanctity on this rocky road of life. But why has yoga really done so well in the past few years? 16 Million Americans, $6 billion spent on yoga in 2008. That’s a [...]

Fastidious mogul Martha Stewart focused yesterday’s show on tips to “Stress Less” which included a segment on yoga, more specifically “partner yoga” …with your pup. Now as much as we’d like a furry friend, our tiny apartment and harebrained schedule don’t facilitate dog ownership at the moment. And so, it’s safe to say we have [...]
