hmm..how's that for a blog title people? Started out today with my big stability ball class. It's a great class to teach at 8:30 in the morning  because I can practically get through half of it before my 2 shots of espresso kick in. Can you say 'aut

heh..sarcomical reminded me of that. I *am* headless..hmm...I need to work on that, doing a new photo up there...maybe I'll get into a really freaky deaky yoga pose and put that on the header. In other news,  I'm also peeved about a few things to

ugh. can you say white bread? mayonaise maybe? that was me..the white girl in the back of hip hop class this morning. I felt so dorky..doing most of the moves like a robotic aerobics or kickbox instructor instead of a fluid dancing fly girl. oh well

780 calories.....

Wednesday, 20 July 2005 1:55 P GMT-08
((gulp)) ......that's what my heart rate monitor said I burned this morning at the gym. I subbed a kickbox class at 8:30 and then stayed to audit the "bootcamp" class that followed. Holy- freakin' -eat- as- many- bagels- as- you- want- when

the vet's office called. Cinder's ashes are ready for pickup. Matthew made a sick joke the other night. I was complaining about having to spend $120 to have her cremated and the ashes returned to us....and then I said something like "well we've

Gumby and Pokey...

Monday, 18 July 2005 12:49 P GMT-08
The gumby part: I learned some pretty sweet adjustments for yoga poses at the training this weekend. In downward dog the teacher literally lifted my hips up and out towards the back so that I felt like I was effortlessly dangling from the ceiling. A

ever see that movie? you know the one where the teenage girls visiting thailand get framed for drugs and end up in a scary bang bang prison? Well that just so happens to be the coined phrase that mr. yogagirl and I use when we see a stalled car on th

Cinder. May she rest in peace today..... She was born in the spring of 1985 and was put to sleep today, July 14, 2005. She was over *20* years old.  A stray kitty that ended up at the barn where I boarded my horse in Oregon, I took her home against

trudging along..

Thursday, 14 July 2005 4:57 A GMT-08
trudging..did I even spell that right? I've been a bit of a couch potato this week..well at least when I'm home that is. Not having the teenager yoga class to deal with for 4 hours twice a week, I've suddenly been bit by the umotivating bug. However,

I'm not a happy camper today. Last night at 4pm the phone rang and it was the 4:45pm instructor (new, only been teaching for me 2 weeks now) telling me her "car wouldn't start". Yeah. Right. Get a taxi. Get a friend to drop you off. Pick a

speaking of yoga shows..

Monday, 11 July 2005 8:58 A GMT-08
so during a moment of boredom on Saturday evening I did a key word search list on TiVo and managed to find a TON of programs with the subject "yoga" in them.  I set it up to record a few and overnight Tivo picked up Rodney Yee's Power Yog

I was totally drooling at the mouth this morning because I actually remembered to go upstairs (where we have the tv with the HD cable tuner)  at 10:30am and catch the yoga show "Namaste" on the HDnet channel. (okay I actually got up ther

Friday recap..

Mr. Yogagirl is doing this crazy work schedule this summer ..he works nine 8's. Every other Friday he gets OFF and every other friday he only has to work 8 hours. This throws a HUGE wrench into Yogagirl's routine. Because he's home when I'm home *on
