    Tammy, Recently I went to Daytona Beach for a yoga class with someone who is renowned for being a great teacher, does world-class inversions, is really sweet, and likes to have fun and laugh.  She’s a lot like you. I took I-95 to get there and found the yoga studio which was pretty close to,…

    Tammy a/k/a today’s Hero Poser, May your happy baby pose cry out with silly laughter.  May your child strike a great pose for you.  May the pranayama breath you take to blow out the cake candles inspire all your wishes to come true.  May your mountain pose be the highest in the world.   May your…

    Tammy, While out of town last week I took a couple of yoga classes.  I was the big dog as I was the youngest and most flexible. So today I felt quite confident and went to your class.  As usual, you were serene and glowing. It was a small class so you announced that we…

    Tammy, For the second time I went to visit my father and step mother in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  They moved there about 3 years ago. They picked me up from the airport.  It was night when my dad’s car was about a mile from his house.   I was pretty tired from a long day of…

    Tammy, Recently I went on a bicycle ride right next to the beach.  This is something I do often.   It was the middle of the day and extremely hot. A couple of miles up the road, my bicycle computer indicated that I was cruising.  In fact, I was going a full 3 miles faster than…

    Tammy, I went to your class today and I have never laughed so much in a yoga class; not at you, but at yoga and with you. There is no Super Bowl for yoga; it is a non-competitive activity (except perhaps in India).   If yoga isn’t going to help American adults get somewhere, why do…

    Tammy, For the second yoga class in a row, there were plenty of teachers in training to help you.  At one point you instructed the students to lie down on our backs.  The young teacher at the student next to me took this opportunity to put her foot on her student’s pelvis.  Better said, she…

    Tammy, Today was kind of interesting at your yoga class.  As you are aware, there were enough teachers in training that pretty much each one of us students had their own.  After a while I noticed that these young, soon-to-be gurus, could have some fun of their own, at my expense.  During shoulder stand my…

    Tammy, At the request of one of your colleagues I went to her yoga class today. She likes my energy and needed some teaching hours for a certification. There was no child’s pose to start the class so I figured the young teacher forgot something.  Three minutes into the class I heard a pose called…

    Tammy, I woke up this morning with a lot on my mind; the week, the obligations, the Kardashians:> NOT. I went to the local yoga store to take your class.  At last, I realized that you had not banished me from taking your classes.  In fact, you graciously welcomed me and asked how I had…
