Wow! Congrats! My favourite line in the article: “Her complexion is flawless…” What an odd thing to write in an article, but kudos to you and your flawless complexion.

I super second your official response! Great piece that really captures your awesomeness. And it’s really nice to finally put a name to your, um, totally hidden (yet “flawless”) face… —Melisse of WellandGoodNYC.com

One of my yoga hero’s true identity is revealed at last!!! Or IZZZZ it? Given the recent NYT coverage of John Friend, who claimed in a rebuttal all kinds of falsities stated by the writer, what is the truth in this story, YD? Did j’list get it right? Do you generally wear plaid shirts? This curious fan wants to know. :) Yay, YogaDork!

So, was that *really* Yogadork in the photo when sister old crone, Cora Wen (the Yogacrone) tagged her with the sirsasana in the Guggenheim Museum, NYC?

On seeing the photo, I had to do a double-take about Yogadork. Lady writes like a dude!

i walled it on facebook, tweeted it on twitter and now i’m commenting it here – GREAT RECOGNITION FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!

Congratulations on the article. The NYT is certainly is paying a lot of attention to yoga lately, isn’t it? But why did I think Yoga Dork was male?

I also tweeted (and digged, dugged?) this as soon as I read it…Congratulations, well deserved and it’s fun to finally get to know the woman behind the blog…peace, Meridance :)
