    Tammy, I was the youngest member in tonight’s class and guess who was seeing a cardiologist for a possible sedated, invasive test, potential angioplasty, or impending heart attack?  Yep, that would be me.  Already things were a little off the yoga tree of balance. First you had us put our butt up against the crown…

    Tammy, I was going to your yoga class yesterday and saw a hot twenty-something woman hanging out after her yoga class.  She was talking with a friend and then I noticed it.  Not a nose ring, nor a pierced eye brow, nor a belly button ring.  A stream of lightly colored air started flowing out…

    Tammy, Today I wanted to take a mid-morning yoga class at a local gym. I was a guest of a friend and we got to the parking lot ten minutes before the class was supposed to start.  Cars galore.  What’s with that?  Well, there was a fitness class prior to the yoga class and there…

    Tammy, Shortly before 5 at night I put my mat on the sand.  The teacher started the class.  I quickly realized the restaurant behind the beach had a guitarist playing an Eagles song.  To the right there were volleyball courts full with games going.  In front of me I saw the green water, the white-capped…

    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…
