    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, At work, there is a woman who goes to a yoga class from 12-1. She leaves the office and changes in the yoga studio bathroom. After class, she changes in the studio bathroom, bypasses the shower which is adjoined to same bathroom, and returns to our office in her professional clothes. She tells me…

    Tammy, At the end of today’s class you said, “yoga is love.” It’s hard to think a couple could meet in a yoga class. The mate selection process is a little different, if not impossible, that’s for sure. The women are all decked out in their designer yoga capri pants and matching tops with coordinated…

    Tammy, In Today’s class we were doing triangle pose.  When I looked up I saw something I had never before seen in class.  Through the window I saw a red light out in the main road, at a distance.  Was it a sign that I should stop doing yoga?  Was it the Amsterdam red light…

    Tammy, I think something is wrong and I’m a little embarrassed to admit this to you. In your class, I like to hear the sanskrit words you say as we go into each pose.  I don’t know what is going on but something about the language turns me on; no, not like a fetish or…

    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…

    Tammy, You’ll remember my shame caused a self-induced banishment from your classes (see previous email [post]).  Today I had a nice 15 minute time frame which you once told me would be great for starting a home yoga practice. I brought out a mat.  Then I asked myself, ok, so how much am I going…
