A Yogi's Nightmare: An Egotistical Teacher
Today I read an article in The Frisky, written by a new yet committed yogi about her class mishap that some of us know all too well - an embarrassing tear in your pants in a very unfortunate place.
Kate, the student (and author) took her plight in hilarious stride. I found myself giggling not at her, but her creative and thoughtful way of retelling a mortifying encounter.
The part that stuck out...
Listen to it. Enjoy it. Dance to it. You’ll...

An Update: Format change, and abandonment no more.
Well, it’s been officially two years since I first abandoned my tumblr. In those 2 years, some things have changed:
I no longer have short hair
I no longer work at Us Magazine
I no longer live in Red Hook
Now, however:
I do live in civility again (aka by a subway)
I do love my new job
I do teach yoga and have a newfound perspective on life, love and everything offered in between

"I'm just living the dream man..."
Keith’s sentiments exactly, except I do think it’s compulsory to add to the hot tub mention. 2 hours. 2 HOURS. in 12 degree weather. Beer, wine, and multi-person massages galore. It was a time capsule back to 1972 with the way we all hippied out in there.

Surprising stories behind 20 Muppet characters...
13. Beaker: I always thought of Beaker and his buddy Bunsen Honeydew as characters that came along later in the Muppet timeline, but they have been around since the “The Muppet Show.” Although Beaker usually says things along the lines of, “Mee-mee-mee-mee!”, he has had a few actual lines: “Sadly temporary,” “Bye-Bye” and “Make-up ready!”...

Dear God,
Thank you for working your mystery today and letting me ride the subway with my celeb crush, Seth Meyers. I promise to never doubt you again, and thank you for making my day.

It’s pretty rare when people do nice things for nothing in return, especially in NYC. So this morning, when I was waiting for the bus, I got a very nice surprise when a cab driver picked me up and took me to Penn Station for absolutely free. Pretty much the best way to start off an early Sunday morning.

I was reading this article in the New York Times about a site that will check to see if the website you are visiting is down for others, or if it’s just you. The website has a very plain and simple approach — pretty much as easy as it gets. I tried 2 websites to see if they were down.

You know? It’s everywhere — in IM, email, newsletters and comments, you know? I get sick of it, but I still am guilty of using it too, you know? It’s like an addiction, you know?
