Our pals in brown know how to get down, dog. (har)
Making 150 stops on the route, climbing up and down steps over 400 times a day. Is it Santa?! Nope it’s your local UPS delivery person! And all that probably quadruples during the holiday season. No wonder they’ve taken to yoga to destress and limber [...]

Just when we thought Bikram was getting cold on us…ye old steamy one, master of Sweat and atomic balls rises from the desert! As if we hadn’t had enough proper Ferrari talk Captain Cocksure informs us of why we should disobey traffic laws, speed 200 mph down the freeway at 2am, and push the pedal [...]

Hot under the collar about being laid off? Burned out on job search?
If you live in Scottsdale, AZ, that’s understandable, it’s going to be 100 degrees today! But, if you’re thirsty for stress relief, out of a job, and really in need of that extra sizzle, by like 10 degrees, stop on by the [...]

Now for your Celebriyogi News! More Brit-tastic…

British songstress, Lily Allen, most known for her sassy lip and keen affection for the drink (and her music we suppose) has joined Team Yoga. Once referring to herself as “fat and ugly” on her Myspace blog, Lily has successfully shed some extra poundage with the help of the [...]
