Men cannot see their reflection in running water, but only in still water. --Chuang Tzu, philosopher (c. 4th century BCE) It seems like those who are really into yoga sometimes think that a yoga practice must be done at the exclusion of all other physical exercise. While it's true that there are only so many hours in the day into which a person can cram a yoga routine around work, family, social life, eating, etc., I've found that a balance of yoga and other physical exercise seems to … [Read more...] about Enlightened Exercise

Handling the Pressure
I'm sorry I haven't got anything too yoga related to share with ya'll today.

George Bush is a Yoga Soldier
If any of you were wondering how President G.W. Bush maintains his focus and clarity in these trying times, well, look no further.
