    Tammy, Little do you know but for the past month I’ve actually been doing the homework you assigned me some fourteen months ago.  That’s right, I’m doing child’s pose every day.  Woo hoo!  I’m completing your assignment, albeit a little late.  I know you’ve given up on expecting much from me.  But come on, what…

    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’m confused about something I’ve never done before:  Bikram yoga.  I grouponed a set of 10 classes. I understand there is a person named Bikram; how did this dude get a yoga named after him?  Did he pay the yoga gods a lot of money?  Are Patanjali and Pattabhi Jois rolling over in their…

    Tammy, I signed up for a class which was going to be held right next to the Intracoastal Waterway.  I was psyched as it had promise to be euphoric. Upon arrival, I parked in the lot near where I thought the class would be.  Nobody was going to the grassy area where the internet showed…

    Tammy, Today I went to your yin a/k/a happy hips class. At the beginning of class you played a song that made us feel like we were in exotic Costa Rica.  Wow!  I remembered that you had scheduled a yoga trip there.  I had never heard of a commercial in a yoga class before and…

    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, 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, 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…
